"Between the years 2000 and 2005, we faced land disputes as a family. Accordingly, we had to handle expensive court cases that drained us financially and consumed much of our time. Although we eventually won the case, I trust that we could be more developed if we never faced the challenge. Hence, the family dispute that served as a hindrance to our development acts as the biggest hardship we have faced in life."
