When you look at the glass, is it half-empty or half-full? Have you more reasons to be happy than sad?
We live in a country that has sunshine all year round, save for a few days of rain.
We enjoy a comparatively good standard of living — and most of us working and living in the UAE do so by choice. And when we're here, we're living in an exciting, vibrant and dynamic environment that others around the world are quick to knock and criticise. If only they had it as good! We are largely unburdened by taxes and enjoy an open and progressive nation where all are treated with respect. For a country that is but 40 years young, it is topping development and economic indices. So smile. There's every reason in the world to be happy this morning!
