'Flashes of Inspiration', 'My Vision' inspire hope

The newly-released 'Flashes of Inspiration' and the previous book 'My Vision', both by Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, represent rich additions to the Arabic library as they inspire hope despite the gloom and the crises of the present, according to a local newspaper. "It provides a source of hope as the future begins today and not tomorrow. The word 'impossible' exists only in the minds of people with no hope," the Arabic language Al Bayan news paper said in a front page editorial on the 'Flashes of Inspiration'. In simple valuable lessons derived from the rich experience of the author, the book provides unpretentious wisdom, guidance and inspiration to those who aspire for success, it remarked adding that "this is a beacon for the future being built according to a special formula based on careful and deliberate consideration and on investment of time." "It is an opportunity to learn from a seasoned successful Arab leader. The book includes life experiences and ideas," the paper quoted His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan as saying yesterday as he was presented with a copy of book by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The book "reformulates concepts, ways of thinking and forms of behavior", according to the paper which noted that a wise leader and author introduces here a new conception of the humility of leaders.
