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.

03:44This makes the society very happy.

03:47I am very happy that Sheikh Maktoum wrote a tweet about me.
