This important collection of anecdotes and reminiscences from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is published to mark the occasion of his fifty years in public service, which began with his appointment as Dubai’s Minister of Defence in 1968.These stories tell of the vision behind Dubai’s meteoric growth from a small and bustling trading port to an international metropolis at the heart of global business. They record the evolution of the United Arab Emirates from a shared ideal to a nation where more than 195 nationalities live and work in peace, harmony and prosperity. And they reveal insights from a man whose drive, determination and will to succeed have become legendary.Within these stories lies the heart of Sheikh Mohammed the statesman, the equestrian, the poet and the leader. They are written with the intent to inspire and inform new generations of readers, and to celebrate the achievements of this young and vibrant nation and the people who shaped it.This celebration of a life in service is unavoidably incomplete. As Sheikh Mohammed himself indicates, there is still so much left to do. As a record of the first fifty years alone, however, it forms part of a remarkable legacy.Other titles written by Sheikh Mohammed and published by Explorer include Zayed, Reflections on Happiness & Positivity, Flashes of Verse and Two Great Leaders.
My Vision - Challenges in the Race for Excellence, a new book by UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, offers a detailed account of the vision that transformed Dubai and the UAE into international hubs for commerce and finance. His Highness holds Dubai up as an example of extraordinary development based on excellent leadership, management, teamwork and timely decision-making. The author, whose personal involvement in the process of development served as the basis for his work, also reflects on the current state of the Arab nation, which he describes as suffering from "a crisis of leadership and management". Reviewers describe My Vision - Challenges in the Race for Excellence as one of the most important books to be published in the Middle East in the past 50 years. The book is dedicated to UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The Arabic-language version of the book was launched in April 2006. This is the first English-language version.
"Wir suchen immer das Beste im Menschen und wollen sein Potenzial zum Nutzen aller entwickeln. Krisen und Hindernisse werden uns nicht aufhalten oder bremsen. Wir werden weder zögern noch uns von Zweifel zurückhalten lassen. Anhand dieser Erinnerungen wird man erkennen, wie wir eine Nation aufgebaut haben.' Diese bedeutende Sammlung von Anekdoten und Erinnerungen von Scheich Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum erscheint aus Anlass seines 50. Jubiläums im Dienst der Regierung, die 1968 mit seiner Ernennung zum Verteidigungsminister von Dubai begann. Diese Geschichten erzählen von der Vision hinter Dubais rasantem Wachstum von einem kleinen, geschäftigen Handelshafen zu einer internationalen Metropole im Herzen der globalen Wirtschaft. Sie dokumentieren die Entwicklung der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate vom gemeinsamen Ideal zu einer Nation, in der mehr als 195 Nationalitäten in Frieden, Harmonie und Wohlstand leben und arbeiten. Sie enthüllen auch Einsichten von einem Mann, dessen Antrieb, Entschlossenheit und Erfolgswillen legendär geworden sind. In diesen Geschichten steckt das Herz von Scheich Mohammed, dem Staatsmann, dem Reiter, dem Dichter und dem Führer. Sie wurden mit der Absicht geschrieben, neue Generationen von Lesern zu inspirieren, zu informieren und die Errungenschaften dieser jungen, pulsierenden Nation und der Menschen, die sie geprägt haben, zu feiern. Diese Feier eines Lebens im Dienste der Nation ist unvermeidlich unvollständig. Wie Scheich Mohammed selbst sagt, gibt es noch so viel zu tun. Jedoch sind diese ersten fünfzig Jahre ein bemerkenswertes Erbe. Andere Titel, die von Scheich Mohammed geschrieben und von Explorer veröffentlicht wurden, sind Zayed, Reflections on Happiness & Positivity, Flashes of Verse und Two Great Leaders
Die Nabati-Dichtung ist das kulturelle Gedächtnis der Araber, besonders in Beduinendialekt. Rashid Al Maktoum, Vizepräsident der VAE, verbindet in seinen Gedichten die Liebe zu seinem Land und der Beduinenwelt mit neuen Perspektiven auf die klassische arabische Liebeslyrik.
