About SaiF
I decided to have this blog because of the day that I LOST MY way. I was a perfectly fine kid doing straight A’s, having a normal life but it all changed on that one day.
The day that started the chain of events that got me lost.
First a family problem.
Then the death of my most beloved grandmother…
and everything just started to fall out of place.
Slowly but surely my life was going into a rut. My grades nose-dived, my attitude and behaviour started to change.
I started to change.
I still remember the day a friend of mine said something to the effect of “Saiful.. you’ve really changed haven’t you.. mixing with the wrong crowd, doing badly…”
I remember the look on the faces of the friends around me. They looked at me as if they didn’t know me. They look disgusted.
But I didn’t know what to do.
I couldn’t turn to my parents to talk about my problem.. I couldn’t turn to the only person whom I’ve ever shared stories with.
I felt alone and everything around me just didn’t matter anymore.
I remember the months before my huge national examination ‘O’ levels and there i was being counseled by my teacher. I was suddenly the kid who needed “counseling”. I was the kid who always did well in class. I was the kid who was supposed to be a student leader. I was the kid who got his essays posted around school.
And there I was in the school canteen, the buzz of the students around and the teacher silenced in my mind as I asked myself “Why?” and there was nothing but a blank.
However, I do believe that my teacher being there reminded me that I indeed mattered. That despite the fact that I didn’t really think I mattered anymore, the people around me do think so.
It was that day that I went home totally in a world of my own. Even as I was playing street-soccer, my mind wandered, “What was I to do now?”
It was only 3 months to the ‘O’ levels that would potentially determine the rest of my life - whether I attended Junior College and whether I attended University in the Qualification-driven Singaporean society.
The stakes were large.
The obstacles were even larger.
The night I went home I remembered looking at the report card with the aggregate printed : 28. An aggregate that almost no Polytechnic would accept what more a Junior College.
I remembered sitting at the very table I’m writing this on now, and crying - not knowing what to do.
Having no pillar of strength I felt like I was doing this on my own.
It was a few days later one midnight that I was flipping through the channels when I saw the Anthony Robbins commercial for a 30-Day Program called “Personal Power”.
The man was so energetic and so full of power that I felt instantly motivated and empowered to do something about my life! I
knew in that instant I had to get the program if I was to get through this phase of my life.
I remember going to the MPH Bookstore near my home and reading his books standing. I then got his Personal Power Program on the Internet and started listening to it religiously.
It was amazing! The techniques he taught and just listening to him talking so passionately seemed to ignite something in me.
I was almost re-born with a new-found burning spirit. As impossible as the task may have seemed, I remembered Tony saying,“It’s not can you, it’s will you?”
I made the decision to do something about it. Little did I know that it turned out to be a life-changing decision.
My final ‘O’ Level aggregate was a “6″ which earned me a spot in one of the Top 3 Junior Colleges in Singapore, Victoria Junior College. Today, I am serving my National Service and have reserved a spot in the University of my choice - the Singapore Management University for the August 2009 semester.
As you can see, my life now is more than fabulous! It’s AMAZING! It’s OUTSTANDING! It’s just so UNBELIEVABLE! Academically I’m doing great, the quality of my relationships are awesome and everything else is just magical.
However, a few months ago, from serving my National Service I bumped into some of my Primary School friends.
When I caught up with some of them, I was shocked to find out that almost the exact same thing had happened to them.
The mixing around with the wrong crowd. The mindless activities. Being in a rut. That was when I discovered that I was blessed.
Unlike my friends, I have gone through the phase and emerged even stronger. Listening to the tone of their voices as they talked about the phase and how they wished they had made different choices really struck a chord within me.
Hadn’t I seen the Anthony Robbins commercial that night, you might not even be reading this right now. I’m very sure of that. I felt like I had to do something, I didn’t know what. Just anything to help the teens who are going through the same situation as I was 4 years ago.
I had neither resources nor the contacts to make things happen but I did have Internet access and in the 21st Century, Internet access is the only thing you need.
This was how SaiF Improvement was born. I decided to start a VBlog because I know how short a youth’s attention span can be - you’re looking at one.
This was the intention I had in mind when I first started this VBlog but it seems that I have expanded my reached to other age-groups as well, and I’m so happy and thankful for that.
I am so happy and grateful that you have decided to join me on this journey of Constant And Never-ending Improvement (CANI) with me on my blog and I really would like to get to know you more and possibly help you if you have any difficulties that I could help you with or just someone to talk to in difficult times.
You can reach me here at the blog itself by commenting on it and I will definitely reply, E-mail me at saifulrizal[at]asksaiful.com or better yet join me as a Gratitude Journalist at my network where we have a community overflowing with wonderful energy.
