Well, personally speaking, I wouldn’t say that it’s really easy for me to actually share certain things, especially if they are private with people around me, even if they are my friends and family members. However, to answer this quick card, I have decided to talk about one exception that I had to make last year when one of my close friends actually asked to borrow my car for a day or two. The fact of the matter is, he actually had his own car, but for some reason I think it was not actually possible for him to drive his own car. I think he was having his car fixed at that moment and he actually had to travel to Joshkent. The problem was that I actually needed my car for myself too, because I have to commit to my work on a daily basis. I actually couldn’t say no to him because this guy that I’m talking about, who happens to be one of my close friends, had helped me previously a lot in my difficulty. So when it comes to getting money or getting advice, even like a board having certain things, I would actually always turn to this guy. So it was actually selfish for me to say no to him, so I actually kind of was talking to him, saying yes, because he’s really a good day to making a case for certain things, especially if he’s in need of something. So long story short, I shared it last year, August, when he had to make a trip to Joshkent from my city, Anagin. And I think that, you know, I don’t know exactly what he had to do, because he actually didn’t disclose what he had to accomplish in Joshkent, because he said that it was something private and that he had to take his family members to Joshkent. So without any further questions, I actually agreed with him. And at that time, I actually had a roller coaster of emotions was this gesture that I showed, because on the one hand, I wasn’t really sure if I could trust him. But after fixing the paperwork, I actually felt okay with it, because I think I could trust him with even more important things in my car. So in a nutshell, I’m really happy that I could help him whenever he needed my help.

Well, personally speaking, I wouldn't say that it's really easy for me to share certain things, especially if they are private, with people around me, even if they are my friends and family members. However, to answer this question, I have decided to talk about one exception I made last year when one of my close friends asked to borrow my car for a day or two. The fact of the matter is, he actually had his own car, but for some reason, it was not possible for him to drive it. I think he was having his car fixed at that moment, and he needed to travel to Joshkent. The problem was that I needed my car for myself too, because I have to commit to my work on a daily basis. I couldn't say no to him because this guy, who happens to be one of my close friends, had helped me a lot in my difficulties in the past. So when it comes to getting money or advice, I would always turn to him. It felt selfish for me to say no, so I talked to him and agreed, because he is really good at making a case for certain things, especially if he is in need of something.

But after finalizing the paperwork, I felt okay with it, because I believed I could trust him with even more important things, like my car. In a nutshell, I'm really happy that I could help him whenever he needed my assistance.
