Grandfathers and grandchildren

Many of my business meetings and sports do not allow me to spend as much time as I want with my family. But I attach special importance to warm, close relationships with my grandchildren, I always try to find time for them. When we are united by common interests, our meetings are more useful, productive, and memorable with many happy moments. The value of such communication is immeasurable.

In this photo, we are together with my grandson. This is the first time Saeed came to the hall of “Judo Club 2012” with his grandfather, and I hope it will continue. It is evident from his mood that he likes it here very much and I am very pleased with it. I would very much like him to do this beautiful, noble sport, to be recognized, and to achieve great success. In fact, it is up to him how seriously he will practice judo and how he will choose.

I would like him to make the right choice because judo is about character, strength, courage, and nobility. We all want our grandchildren to grow up with such qualities. But in order for our dreams to come true, we grandfathers must fulfill a very important social duty: we must prepare our grandchildren for a great life. This will also be our significant contribution to the education and formation of the future generation of the country.
