DEEP GRATITUDE: It doesn’t take only a day like today, the 15th anniversary of the Accession Day of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to acknowledge his achievements and the excellence in governance. The sense of gratitude is felt every single day as residents go about their daily grind. Being in the UAE teaches residents many life lessons. Top on the list are values like tolerance, respect and empathy. The ability to turn dreams into reality through hard work and a strong will is also a learning that they will ever be grateful for.
