Herencia de generaciones [ESP-ENG] | 5 minute FreeWrite

SPANISH VERSION
Mi padre trabajo en el Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones (M.T.C) y al pasar el tiempo en concreto más de 20 años, lo jubilaron. Todavía era un hombre fuerte, con una gran familia que mantener. Sin embargo, hubo una característica clave en él que lo ayudó a sobrellevar la situación, él fue un hombre con una capacidad administrativa asombrosa, esto a pesar de que pasó gran parte de su vida en el campo, y su capacitación académica solo llegaba hasta la primaria, que obtuvo en un instituto conocido como INCES.
Sobrellevar la carga solo con un salario mínimo y grandes sacrificios fue algo que me impactó bastante, pues en casa éramos 10. Inicialmente él pedía prestado en la bodega del vecino al que le pagaba todos los viernes y luego volvía a quitarle el lunes y así continuo el ciclo por varios años, hasta que le llegó la jubilación, entonces pago todas sus deudas con la promesa así mismo de no volver a endeudarse.
Para ese momento ya tenía casa de bloques con una sala, comedor, tres cuartos y techo de acerolit, tomo uno de los cuartos y lo adecuo para montar una bodega, lo primero que compro fueron varios estantes y poco a poco fue incluyendo variedad de productos y, le fue muy bien, aunque no tenía mucha paciencia para tratar con los clientes, mi mamá una mujer dulce y sabia le ayudaba en eso.
Si bien es cierto que el dinero tenia valor para aquellos tiempos también es cierto que las demandas eran mayores en la medida que íbamos creciendo, realmente lo que le ayudo mucho fue la venta de licor que aumentaba los fines de semana y le dejaba mayores ganancias de donde sacaba casi religiosamente para comprar material de construcción, luego reunía para la mano de obra e ir construyendo lo que faltaba, es decir platabanda y otros cuartos.
Hoy tenemos una casa de herencia con seis habitaciones, sala, comedor, cocina, patio, dos tanques para almacenar agua y un pequeño espacio donde cosechamos para uso familiar. Aún queda el espacio que una vez fue el centro de ingreso para la familia, varios de mis hermanos trataron de levantar un negocio propio, pero con esta mega inflación y el poco capital, es bastante difícil. Se repartieron los estantes entre ellos y les han sacado provecho en sus necesidades; todavía queda el espacio y más estantes con la esperanza de seguir intentando un negocio propio hasta que se logre consolidar uno, quien sabe si sea uno de la nueva generación con los medios y el don sobrenatural de papá, que incluía determinación y constancia.
ENGLISH VERSION
My father worked in the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (M.T.C.) and as time went by, specifically over 20 years, he was retired. He was still a strong man, with a large family to support. However, there was one key characteristic in him that helped him to cope, he was a man with an amazing administrative capacity, this despite the fact that he spent much of his life in the countryside, and his academic training only went as far as elementary school, which he obtained at an institute known as INCES.
Initially he borrowed money from the neighbor's bodega, which he paid every Friday and then borrowed again on Mondays, and so the cycle continued for several years, until he retired, when he paid off all his debts with the promise of not getting into debt again.
By that time he already had a block house with a living room, dining room, three rooms and acerolit roof, he took one of the rooms and adapted it to set up a warehouse, the first thing he bought were several shelves and little by little he was including a variety of products and he did very well, although he did not have much patience to deal with customers, my mother, a sweet and wise woman helped him in that.
While it is true that money had value for those times, it is also true that the demands were greater as we were growing, really what helped him a lot was the sale of liquor that increased on weekends and left him greater profits from which he took almost religiously to buy building materials, then gathered for labor and go building what was missing, ie platabanda and other rooms.
Today we have an inherited house with six rooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, patio, two tanks to store water and a small space where we harvest for family use. There is still the space that once was the income center for the family, several of my siblings tried to start their own business, but with this mega inflation and the little capital, it is quite difficult. They divided the shelves among themselves and have taken advantage of them for their needs; there is still the space and more shelves with the hope of continuing to try a business of their own until they manage to consolidate one, who knows if it will be one of the new generation with the means and dad's supernatural gift, which included determination and perseverance.
