Camel, Mercedes and Land Rover
HARD TIMES CREATE STRONG PEOPLE. STRONG PEOPLE CREATE GOOD TIMES. GOOD TIMES CREATE WEAK PEOPLE. AND WEAK PEOPLE CREATE HARD TIMES.
They once asked Sheikh Rashid, the founder of Dubai, how he saw the future of his country. He replied:
“My grandfather rode a camel. My father rode a camel. I drive a Mercedes. My son drives a Land Rover. My grandson will also drive a Land Rover. But my great-grandson… will probably ride a camel again.”
“Why would you say that?” they asked.
“Because there are a few timeless truths that rule the world,” he explained. “Hard times create strong people. Strong people create good times. Good times create weak people. And weak people create hard times.
Many won’t understand this, but prosperity doesn’t create fighters — it creates parasites. And that’s how good times disappear.”
