Brilio.net - A person's struggle in life is impossible if there are no challenges in front of him. Whether a person is successful or not in navigating life is seen from how resilient he is in facing all the challenges that come his way.
This is what happened to a man from Srandakan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. He is a man who is able to weather the storms of life so that he can now enjoy the results with full success.
His full name is Fransiskus Prayogokatsu, but he is more familiarly known as Beno. This man has been involved in various fields of work before finally becoming an entrepreneur. The story is summarized in a video shared by the YouTube channel CapCapung, reported by brilio.net on Wednesday (24/4).

Beno experienced quite significant ups and downs in life. He has been a busker, meatball seller, and even a bajaj driver in Jakarta. A hard life makes him continue to learn to rise from adversity.
Thanks to the experience of never giving up in Jakarta for 9 years, Beno has now become a successful noodle entrepreneur. In the video, it is revealed that Beno is just a man who graduated from junior high school.

Throughout his life in Jakarta, Beno learned to keep fighting and never give up in the face of all kinds of obstacles. So he took the lesson to his home in Bantul.
"My only junior high school education was cornered by economic circumstances. We used to be buskers. We were traveling meatball sellers, and I also transmigrated, most recently I was a bajaj driver in Jakarta for 9 years," said Beno, telling his life story.
"From the 9 years of experience we have gained from Jakarta, we never give up. From Jakarta I returned home in 1993 and then I had ups and downs and started a business at home and found a suitable business in 2003," continued Beno.
After starting his noodle making business in 2003, Beno admitted that he experienced ups and downs. In 2006, Jogja was hit by a natural earthquake. Beno admitted that the natural disaster also destroyed his business.
A year later in 2007, he got back on his feet but went bankrupt again in 2009. Through this series of experiences of ups and downs, Beno learned the lesson that sacrifice is a part of life that cannot be let go of.
"When I fell, I experienced a lot of ups and downs. Of course, because I didn't have the skills to make noodles. This is self-taught, I taught myself. I had to sacrifice a lot to make noodles," explained Beno.

Beno is now a noodle entrepreneur who has his own factory . Meanwhile, he also employs several employees in his factory to produce noodles every day. The noodle product he named 'Reshik Noodles' has already reached Italy for distribution.
In fact, Beno said, his factory is often visited by guests from foreign countries such as Japan, France and South Korea. When asked about his message for young people, he advised them to always try their best and never stop learning and processing.
"I suggest to young people who want to have an identity, don't get tired of the process. Because success without the process, if you don't maintain the magic, it won't be successful. Even the magic still has a process," said Beno.
