This is Not the End of Your Life, Even You Are…

The global recession had left a deep impact on every person and life is become tougher and tougher everyday!

Since the economy turbulence starting to violence all across the globe last year, the total amount of unemployed people have been skyrocketing throughout the period. As I noticed, this economy turmoil is one of the worse recessions that ever happened in human history.

Until now, many friends of mine have been declared bankruptcy or having financial crisis for their businesses. Honestly, I was very sad, as I didn’t have the ability to help them out from the misery, when them need it the most!

Edward, one of my good friends, was one of the economy downturn’s victims. Before the economy turbulence, he’s a very successful household appliances businessman, which is owned 20 household appliances stores in all across the United States of America.

Honestly, everything seems to be so perfect and blessing, until his started to notice that the economy crisis has beginning to leave a side effect on his business. He realized that the household appliances selling rate is sharply dropped in all the 20 household appliances stores. In order to cut down the loss and expanses, he decided to close down first five, then ten and lastly fifteen stores!

During the period, he was seriously tortured, in either physically or mentally. The even worse thing is his hair starting to fall off and became bald in less than three months! He’s totally devastated and feel embarrass with the baldness. He’d already lost his confident and didn’t interested on anything in his life. He became a very reticent person!

Honestly, I had no idea, what’s happened on Edward, as we didn’t contact since we’re graduated from the college. Edward wife, Marcy, was the one who dropped me a phone call four months ago and told me his hubby situation.

When I received the call from Marcy and heard what she’d told me, I was stunned for awhile. I knew Edward is now at the low ebb, and I must do something to get him out from the misery!

Hence, I told Marcy that the best solution for Edward now is having the hair transplant. Marcy was shocked, as she’s never heard about this form before! I described to her that hair transplant is a simply surgical technique, which is moving and planting the hair on the balding parts. It has no side effect, painless and very safe.

Marcy said she’ll try her best to convince Edward to test out the method. I told Marcy that we’ll keep in contact from time to time.

It’s already three months, and I received a phone call yesterday evening. This time, Edward’s the person who calling me! During the conversation, Edward said he’s done what I’ve told Marcy and heading to a treatment. He met a very professional hair transplant doctor, which had given him the detailed explanation about the hair fall and the treatment to overcome it.

He followed what the doctor told him and he managed to get his hair back in three months. He was overwhelming about it and thanked me few times through the phone! In addition, He said that his business is now backing on track and the selling rate is bouncing up again.

As a friend, I was very happy for him. Before we’re hanging up the phone, I told him to take a good care of himself and his family. Never give up, no matter how tough the situation is! He promised to keep my words on mind and wish me all the luck.

Now, it’s time to go and chasing your dream again, Edward…

Interesting that he never thought about a hair transplant. Of course, now you've left me wondering how his business is going, since he's down to 5 stores, I believe.

Yeah, Mitch. Sometimes, we're so frustrated, especially when our business is falling apart...
