Well, I would like to talk about the time when I give the promise to my daughter. Actually, if my memory serves me correctly, it happened a couple of years ago. At the time, my daughter just started to learn English. She had a rudimentary principle of the English. One day, she found that she wanted to participate in this competition. I gave a promise to her, if you study hard and take any place, I will buy what you want. After hearing this news, my daughter started to study day and night without stopping. Finally, she took first place. At the time, I was really over the moon. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The next stage would be in Tashkin. We invited her to there. In Tashkin, I bought a beautiful bicycle for my daughter. She wanted to buy this kind of bicycle for a long time. She was really happy. I couldn’t express her feelings at the time. The next stage would be in Italy. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, COVID-19, all the events were cancelled. It was six years ago. It was the time when COVID-19 had started. This lesson was a big lesson for me in my life. We should keep our promises especially to young children. They are really trustful. If we lie to them, they can’t trust us anymore. I think it is really essential to keep our promises especially to elder people.

At the time, my daughter had just started to learn English. She had a rudimentary understanding of the language. One day, she expressed her desire to participate in a competition. I promised her that if she studied hard and placed in the competition, I would buy her what she wanted. After hearing this, my daughter began to study day and night without stopping. Finally, she took first place. At that moment, I was really over the moon. I couldn't believe my eyes. The next stage would be in Tashkent. We invited her there.
