Recently, I read that a delegation of Punjabi people in Dubai, met the Sheikh seeking permission to erect a Gurudwara. They expected some subsidy/facilities and were stunned by his generosity.
The Sheikh instantly offered 500 acres of land for the project for free. (wow!). This is where the Guru Nanak Darbar has been created with many world records to its credit. https://www.gurudwaradubai.com/
The only condition was they should build a monument that would be so glorious that it will magnetize pilgrims from all over the globe. It had to become one more reason for people to visit Dubai. The simple vision of the Sheikh yet so remarkable isn’t it?
It is this remarkable attitude that has made remarkable things happen in Dubai.
– The tallest tower in the whole world
– The highest fountain in the whole world
– The biggest shopping mall in the whole world
– The biggest man-made island in the whole world,
– One of the biggest dry docks in the world, are all in Dubai.
What gets noticed, what makes a change, what will make things happen, what creates momentum, what gets talked about, what gets impossible things done, what inspires loyalty, what is in demand, what wins against odds, what creates history – are remarkable things and events.
Remarkable is an awesome word, worth making a remark about.
Commitment + courage + vision + character, brings in the remarkable. Their presence is compulsory to ‘be’ remarkable.
When you have them, in the worst of your times, you still believe in a glorious future.
Disappointments inspire you to higher levels of determination. In defeats you are graceful. In victories, you are grateful.
Let us NOT live an ordinary life. Let us begin by doing something remarkable TODAY. What do you say?
Dear Naren,
Once again an absolutely inspiring mail!
Thank you. I’ve noted the point and will try to follow it to the best of my ability!
Hi Naren,
Your thoughts and writeups are inspirational and thought-provoking.
Thanks.
Dear Naren,
Happy morning.
I shared this article with my friend who was in UAE for almost 40 years.
Now his kids still live there.
He and his wife live a retired life in Pune.
He has a great memory of UAE.
He will love it….
Thank you 💓
Simply superb!
Thank you very much for giving the recipe for being remarkable.
I was lacking courage; as I never stepped out of my comfort zone. Even when ordering food at a restaurant, I ate what I already had tasted.😁
But due to certain events in the last few months, I had no option but to be courageous.
Now I realize that I was not giving even my 50%.
Your articles help me reflect and help me to better myself.
Thanks and keep sending the stories.
