They once asked Sheikh Rashid, the founder of Dubai, how he saw the future of his country. His reply was as striking as it was timeless:
“My grandfather rode a camel. My father did too. I drive a Mercedes. My son drives a Land Rover. My grandson will also drive a Land Rover… but my great-grandson will probably ride a camel again.”
When asked why, he explained:
“There are eternal laws that govern life. Hard times create strong people. Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people. And weak people create hard times.
Many won’t understand, but prosperity doesn’t produce fighters. It produces parasites.”
