His hide was not thick enough. <br /><br />Dubai is, above all, a business/trade center. In ten years time he will have a different view.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655332665768137789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-84774339731394788612011-01-29T12:10:02.503+04:002011-01-29T12:10:02.503+04:00What an incredibly honest and insightful piece.

You can accuse him of seeing the glass half full but not of being inaccurate - If you don't agree I challenge you to pull out a single statement and refute it objectively. And what difference does it make if he is 22 or a MIT grad - would you agree with him if he was 42 yrs old and a Zayed University professor? Argue the points he raise if you so wish, but the minute you start belittling the person you are already accepting that you don't have a valid counter-point and the only way you can drown down the voice shouting "the emperor is naked" is by calling the person a foolish kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-70643615335503721012011-01-06T22:16:27.963+04:002011-01-06T22:16:27.963+04:00I think this 4-part article by the MIT grad is wel...I think this 4-part article by the MIT grad is well-written--well crafted and insightful. Although his experience with Dubai and interpretation of it may not be everyone's he does a good job of painting a detailed image of the Dubai experience. He also qualifies his judgments by giving a detailed description of the perspective he is coming from.<br /><br />I think some of us should try to do the same. Everybody's narrative is going to be different while all can still be valid.B.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03604898558343997616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-44684611659506735952010-12-25T02:18:50.436+04:002010-12-25T02:18:50.436+04:0022 yo eh?
