Hari Raya Puasa (analogy)

Analogy (this has got nothing to do with religion, just quoting an example in our daily lives)

Ramadan (fasting) on the month before Puasa is an important task muslims hold high reverence to.
Though non-muslims may be fully aware that Puasa and ramadan are important to muslims, they might not regard it as highly as muslims do.
After all, they are the ones looking in from outside, but not feeling it from inside.

If one day, a muslim is faced with a once-in-a-lifetime event, and has to give up ramadan or puasa for once to participate in this event.
Non-muslims frens may tell him to drop the ramadan and puasa, since it occurs every year.
Muslims might not see it in the same light.
What should he do?
