What’s said in the video

“Mohammed bin Rashid is a leader and more. He is the builder of a nation and more. He is a way to approach business and more.

“Mohammed bin Rashid is ‘thought’. The thought of every society that seeks to eliminate the word ‘impossible’ from its dictionary. The thought of every country that aims to raise the ceiling of expectations and achievements. The thought of every young person who embraces ambitions and dreams. The thought of every person who works in the humanitarian field. The thought of every person who works in the field of culture and knowledge. The thought of every chivalrous and noble knight. The thought of every innovative and authentic poet. The thought of every dreamer whose astounding thoughts are out of the box. The thought of all those who seek to become the first, the best and the finest. Mohammed bin Rashid is ‘thought’, and great thoughts are eternal.”

On Wednesday, marking Sheikh Mohammed’s 17th accession day anniversary, Sheikh Hamdan had posted a tribute to him saying: “My father, my master, oh glory maker. You drew a path for Dubai that is lined with achievements. You made us fly with ambitions that do not know the impossible. We are always optimistic that what comes ahead is always better.”
