There is no doubt that the life of the tribe in which our fathers and grandfathers were raised was beautiful and still beautiful, through which they instilled in us many good qualities, which are characterized by the people of the Union, of patience and perseverance, and that we seek to achieve our aspirations, we have learned to hold on and never be broken no matter what the challenges Or obstacles, we have learned to turn every stumbling block to success, every crisis to opportunity, every challenge to hope and ambition that has no limit.
Since the union of our young state on December 2, 1971, we were taught by our founding fathers, headed by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, “May God rest his soul,” that we always look for the best and that lasting development is our goal, and that we strive for our nation to have an affair Various fields, and to have a strong anchor in the ranks of the developed world.
We could have closed ourselves to others like us and traditionally lived in the confines of the tribe, but our exceptional leadership had a different opinion, because their unconventional thought is an evolving, enlightened thought that always aspires to construction, development and development .. It is always looking to the future, not because we are recipients but rather His constructors.
Hopes, visions, and future directions were launched, and the dream grew with us. We believed that the sky was the roof of the ambition of our leaders, but we saw that there was more that took off to explore space, and the dream came true last September to send Hazza Al Mansoori, the first Emirati astronaut to the International Spacecraft, to achieve The state is a major Arab achievement that has brought to mind Arab glories, but our wise leadership has no ceiling for its ambition, and the best testimony to this is the "probe of hope" that will be launched from the space station on the Japanese island of Tanegashima to explore Mars, to mark a new achievement not only to serve the future of our country but also to serve all humanity. Our leadership was able to invest the spirit of the tribe, the spirit of the one team, the spirit of determination, persistence and challenge to achieve the impossible, in order for the leadership of the Arabs to return to the sky and space, but to extend beyond that to the "red planet".
This probe for young people also carries a new hope that requires changing their thinking and urging them to look to the future with a different thought, the axes of which are based on creativity, innovation and thinking outside the box, and away from the traditional view of life and the search for self and the development of visions, we do not need now to have the thinking of our youth and girls focus on Searching for a traditional job and living in a traditional way, we have to be exceptional like our leaders create in our national hands the jobs of the future, we must not wait for the future that others create for us, but we must be part of the world that makes the future and is able to compete and face any challenges and not put ourselves in the focus The recipient is only to be the creator of this future and create its jobs, but how can our youth achieve this?
This is achieved by having our children, before our youth, have the vision of the creator, the creator, and the inventor. The “probe first” not only addresses the minds of young people or adults only, but it also tickles the minds of our children, and tells them, here are the gates of the future that open to you wide open, and all you have to do is look With a different eye .. Education in a different way .. Having the determination and strength to have thousands like Hazza Al-Mansouri not only in the space sector but in various sectors of technology, artificial intelligence, digital applications, programming, advanced science, and others.
Changing the trend now is required, and the shifting of the minds of children and youth towards studying those scientific disciplines is necessary and inevitable, so that the directions of the future government come to fruition, changing educational curricula to achieve that vision is required, nourishing the brains with all that is creative and innovative is the challenge during the next 50 years with celebration next year With the golden jubilee of our country and the arrival of the "probe of hope" to Mars, to complete the amazing and historical success achieved by our country during the past half century, which confirms that it is a young country in the prime of youth possessing the ability and determination and all the foundations and elements of success in all fields, and we know very well that our wise leadership strives hard and with all A power to achieve those aspirations, but our youth must be at the best of our leadership’s belief in them. We want children and youth to have a dream, to maintain the path of progress and development that we have reached and transcended in the sky, and to invest all that we have learned from our tribe to preserve our gains, and what we aspire to To be achieved on Mars.
