As part of his ongoing series of summer messages, many of which begin with "life has taught me," Sheikh Mohammed emphasised the importance of commitment to achieving one's goals.

In a recent post on his X account, Sheikh Mohammed shared a video captioned with a profound message: "Life has taught me that when you pursue an achievement, give it your all. Don’t give just a part of yourself unless you’re satisfied with half an achievement or half a victory."

The video further elaborates on this philosophy, illustrating lessons he has learned from his experiences, particularly from horse riding.

The video quotes Sheikh Mohammed as saying, "I learned from my horse that when you love something, pursue it to the end. When you seek achievement, give your whole self; offering only a part leads to incomplete success. Organize your time, prioritize wisely, enjoy your life, and leave a mark that defines you. Never let anyone take your time—it’s akin to letting them steal your life. Everyone faces risks in the race of life, but the greatest risk is in not taking any risks at all."
