Zum Nachdenken….
Dubai, Dienstag der 21.Oktober 2003. Madinat Jumeirah. Ein gewisse Spannung liegt in der Luft. Eine Spannung die man nur dann spürt wenn etwas besonderes passiert. Und es sollte heute etwas besonderes passieren. SH Scheich Mohammed betritt gerade den Saal des Madinat Jumeirah und verkündet den Bau von Dubailand.
In seiner Rede findet sich auch folgendes:
“I would like to tell capitalists that Dubai does not need investors, investors need Dubai and I tell you that the risk lies not in using your money but in letting it pile up. It is dormant and dead if it is merely a figure in an account. I tell them not to hold onto it and kill it in safes, let it breathe and be active because money is like water – if you lock it up, it becomes stagnant and foul-smelling, but if you let it flow, it stays fresh. If it does not flow, it will become stagnant and its colour will change. When I encourage you to invest, I am not asking you to put your money into a fire – I guarantee that your money will be invested in carefully studied projects. I want to be frank with you – I have the courage to take decisions and to bear the responsibility for the consequences. Do you have the courage to be frank and decisive?“
