I always had this question sweeping through my mind of how well I would do in Dubai. Many of my friends asked me if I would be comfortable shifting here. Slowly, I started developing fear and anxiety in me, but this anticipation didn’t stay for long. The minute I reached Dubai, I felt the gentle breeze, and I was filled with joy, happiness and cheerfulness. Even though it was hot, I felt positive that I reached the right place wherein I will be welcomed. There is something magical about this country that creates a strong sense of community, comfort and tolerance.

I am at a loss of words when I have to talk about the people, who are extremely hardworking and caring, whose hearts and minds are completely filled with solicitousness. It was not only inspiring to learn about the people, but also the Rulers who do so much to fulfil the needs of the people. For all these incredible things to happen, it is necessar for people have unity, harmony, integrity and peace. This is what each of us would like to share with each other.

It’s also worth acknowledging the fact that this land turned out to be a shelter for many. Yes, all the wow factors that we experience and enjoy is only because of the leadership and determination on how the country should be for the comfort of the people. For providing homes and making a place that people will feel comfortable is something to be very appreciative of.

Thinking about the construction, we all need to remember the workers. We sometimes see them building apartments, schools, shopping complexes and every single place where we experience this fun and happiness. Their hopes and confidence never fades because of the trust they have in the country.

The faith, belief and confidence makes each and every one in the UAE, boosted with energy to do more.
