In a keynote address at the gala dinner at the Burj Khalifa, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed remarked that the world has experienced a recession, but that he was “pleased to say that the UAE and Dubai came out of it… and Dubai is flying now again”. He shared his thoughts on how Dubai has been built on a strategy to ‘think big’, citing examples of large-scale development projects such as Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, Jebel Ali and Emirates Airline. He also told the audience of CEOs about his philosophy of success and leadership: “You got where you are because of determination and positive thinking, and positive thinking is always the right thing. If you doubt yourselves, then you will face failure. If you don’t learn everyday, then you are not leaders and the world will pass you by. So, we all have to learn in this life, and you have to aim high and have to reach out and catch the moon and stars. That’s what Dubai is all about. We are determined to be number one”.
