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.
