Chronicles of Amin


Muhammad Al Amin was the name given to him by his parents. With Amin, what you see is what you get. A simple guy leading a simple stress free life. There are a few things you need to know about him:
  • He loves to talk a lot even with strangers
  • He loves being around people
  • He loves socializing with a new crowd
That might be three of the reasons why he chooses to be a successful Motivational Speaker. One of the perks with being a public speaker that specializes in motivating people is that he gets to help a lot of people at the same time.

Becoming a psychologist might not be the best career choice for an up and coming motivational speaker due to the stereotype that psychologists are usually people who loves being by themselves and they are usually introverts. However, Amin thrives to break the stereotype and prove to everyone that being we can be as versatile as we want to be and that we should not always follow societal rules.

It's time for the world to see that an ambitious Malay boy from Malaysia can also be successful as the Donalds, Steves and Bills of the world. (Donald Trump, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates)

Tanita's Story




Tanita has always had an interest in anything related to Japanese.
Whether it is about the language, people, music or lifestyle.
This began when she started to watch Japanese dramas and listening to Japanese songs.

From there, she decided to learn Japanese on her own for a year before enrolling in a proper Japanese class. It has been 5 years since she began studying Japanese.
Tanita's goal is to master the Japanese language and to speak it fluently.
At the moment, Tanita can understand it more than she can speak it. She hopes that one day she can watch a Japanese drama without reading the subtitles or listen to a Japanese song and understand the meaning. She plans to go to Japan once she can speak it fluently so she is able to experience their culture and lifestyle.

Tanita hopes that one day she can be in a kimono just like her Japanese friend in the picture below.
Tanita is interested in their language because to her, it sounds polite and not as harsh if compared to others. It is easy to understand and the pronunciation is simple.
Tanita is also interested in their music because most of the singers that she likes acted in the Japanese dramas that she watched. Not only that, their music is different than some of the English songs she has listened to. However, this could be a bias perception.

Tanita aspires to be an English teacher in Japan.
She wants to teach in middle school or in high school. Therefore, Tanita looks up to her Japanese teacher currently because she is doing exactly what Tanita wants to do, only difference is she is teaching Japanese to English speaking students.

The Story about Iman

The Story
This is a story about Nurul Iman trying to achieve her goals by following her dream to become a psychologist.

'Serve The People'
She learnt from her family that she should always 'serve the people'. Her parents taught her well that she should not be selfish and spoilt to other people. She then started to help people who are in need.

The Solution
Therefore, she decided to become a psychologist. She wants to listen and understand people who are in need what they have been going through. She also wants to try to understand their problems and try to advise them as much as she can.

What Really Strikes Her
The story that triggered her mind is about the late Nurin Jazlin who was stated missing in August 2007 and found again in September that year. When she heard that the public blamed Nurin's parents for not taking care of her, she thought it was selfish of them to even think like that when their child was gone missing then. From there on, she realized that she needs to make sure that all children need to be safe at all times. She knows that people who are ignorant would not want to care about these children.

Her Goal
She wants to have a centre for her children from troubled homes. The children will have the freedom to feel belonged and safe in her hands. She also wants to help these children to not have any negative influence by other people. Also, the centre will be open 24 hours, since most of these children's parents have to work nightshifts. She wants to be able to provide protection for these children.
