00:00My name is Saif Saeed Saif, I'm 40 years old, and I live in Dubai, UAE.
00:18If you're a human being, you have to work, you have to stay at home.
00:22If you're tired, you have to go to the bathroom.
00:25You can't just stay at home and go to the bathroom.
00:33I graduated from the Ashab Al-Hammam Center.
00:36Thank God, I'm a volunteer.
00:38I don't have any difficulties.
00:42My dream is to become a police officer, but thank God,
00:47God blessed me with Ibrahim.
00:51He made me work as a salesman.
00:53Before him, I didn't know how to work as a salesman.
00:56He taught me everything.
00:58He taught me how to sell.
01:00He taught me how to communicate with people.
01:04He's one of the nicest people.
01:06I really love Ibrahim.
01:09I have four medals in the Masharjah championship.
01:14I started playing when I was 17 years old.
01:19We went to Dubai World Championship last summer.
01:23We played there in the cold.
01:26I was very happy.
01:29When I got home, my family was very happy.
01:32My life taught me to be a good father.
01:44To teach my son.
01:46To take care of my son.
01:51My son's future, I want him to be a good father.
01:54I want him to be a police officer.
01:57So he can protect his country.
01:59Every father wants their son to be better than his father.
02:02I tell him to study more.
02:05Because in science, there is light.
02:08I tell him, I wish my mother was alive.
02:11She would be very happy when her son becomes a police officer.
02:18My mother would be very happy.
02:25My mother's health is in my heart.
02:28She will never get old.
02:30I feel that a lot of things have changed in my life.
02:39When my father died, I was very sad.
02:55I was very sad.
02:57It was the worst day of my life.
03:07I remember everything about my mother.
03:10I remember her food.
03:12I remember when she was at home, I would kiss her on her head.
03:16I would miss her.
03:18I would cry under her feet.
03:21If your mother is sad, God will be sad too.
03:26I want to send a message to my sister.
03:29I love you very much.
03:32You are my mother's place.
03:38Sheikh Maktoum is above my head.
03:41Sheikh Maktoum wrote a tweet about me.
03:44This makes the society very happy.
03:47I am very happy that Sheikh Maktoum wrote a tweet about me.
03:53My family is very happy.
03:58I want to say to all the people of Yemen.
04:02Study, excel and work hard.
04:06Thank God, I was able to reach where I am today.
