“Inspiration and entrepreneurship are incentives to advance people to higher-level positions,” he said. “Given its victorious journey, mega strategic projects and safety and security, the UAE is worthy to be called the ‘land of inspiration,’” he added.
“Seizing opportunities and overcoming challenges are key foundations for success. Inspiration, challenge and seizing opportunities are inherent traits of Their Highnesses Sheikh Khalifa, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed,” he said.
“The UAE’s accomplishments were attained thanks to the efforts of the country’s wise leadership and people, and the foundations of positive citizenship, faith and futuristic vision, with sustained integrity, morals and vision. If the leadership managed to make achievements using capabilities they had back in the 60s and 70s, then today’s youth must appreciate the resources they have and look towards the future.”
Concluding, HH Sheikh Saif said: “Leaders of the UAE have passed down inspiration to all citizens and residents, in the country that is home to more than 200 different nationalities living in perfect coexistence. The UAE is testament to inspiration, through which our leaders have managed to turn challenges into landmark achievements.”
