Quotes:
On hope for the future of the Arab world
“This region is the birthplace of major human civilizations. There should be
hope. If I didn’t have hope, I wouldn’t be wasting my time and the time of all
those involved in this. I believe in the human spirit. Humans are the ones
who made civilizations so they should also be able to revive them.”
2017 The Year of Giving :
“The path to self-fulfilment starts with giving”
FUN FACTs
He loves a selfie…Being part of an innovative city he is, of course, up on all
the social media trends. Selfies included.
He is passionate about gender equality. He founded the Gender Balance
Council in 2015, saying: “We have moved beyond the phase of empowering
women. Indeed, we are empowering society through women. The impact of a
significant female presence in leadership roles has wide-ranging benefits on
the economy, on governance and on society at large.”
He loves driving. Far from being chauffeured around Dubai, he's often
spotted behind the wheel of his G-Class.
He doesn’t believe in the word “impossible”. If this quote isn’t 2016 #goals,
we don’t know what is: “We, in the UAE, have no such word as “impossible”; it
does not exist in our lexicon. Such a word is used by the lazy and the weak,
who fear challenges and progress.
