For those of you who think that my ‘Superkids‘, ‘I Am Gifted, So Are You!’ and IAG Malaysia training program is only about helping teens to score ‘A’s and get a good academic education, then you may want to read this email that I received from one of my students.
Besides ‘Academics’, I focus a lot on giving teens the winning mindset, philosophies and life skills to help them deal with the challenges in life and to bring out the best in themselves.

Subject: Thank YouDear Adam,
I sincerely want to thank you for letting me see this one thing called hope
during my marchIAG06 camp. Before my camp life have been really hard for me,
i rarely talk to my mum and I am always doing things that is against the
law.In febuary this year before i attended your program, i was charged up to
court for an assualt case and was sentenced to 18month probation during
march.
Before I attended your program I was a very hot-tempered guy and always feel
that the whole world is against me but after going through the camp, I’ve
realised that its not the world going against me but me going against the
world.
I’ve learned how to handle problems much better than before and life have
never felt so good for me before.The most important thing to me that I’ve learnt from your camp is not the
academic skills but I’ve learnt on how to become a better person in life and
to me this is much more valuable than the academic skills I’ve learnt
because if I am a person who goes against the law, having a degree or
whatsoever is useless.And my relationship with my mum is getting better day by day, its now as
though that we are friends and it really feels good being this way. Although
I am still going through probation, my officer gave me this piece of good
news saying that I will be discharged early.I am able to see things in a much clearer view I must really thank you
because it is you that made me realise the importance of life.
Thank you once again.Yours Sincerely,
Yu Yuan
i believe, through and through, that there are no “unteachable” students. only unbelieving teachers. thanks adam for changing a child’s life. you just changed the world again.
Adam,
that’s good inspiration.
i already have plans to enrol my daughter in your program when she’s older.
please help to keep the lecherous boys away from her though.
she’s already turning out to be quite a charmer.
That is such a touching email , especially since i know the person who wrote this personally, Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan, thanks for sharing your story and letting us all know this programe really touches peoples’ lifes in more ways than one. It may just be the fire to spark a massive turning point in one’s life. Like in Yu yuan’s case.
To Adam, thank you for creating “SuperKids” and “I am Gifted “programes. Thank you for your passion and work in training and impacting young lifes.
Yu yuan, thank you for the inspiration that you give to the participants and to the coaches.

Javier.
