"Muhammad", in his national costume and his beautiful "assam", stood in front of his small stall selling "paratha" bread with "Karak" tea. He takes orders, explains to customers the simple “menu,” then records it with joy and pleasure, “paratha with cheese,” “paratha with Oman chips,” or “paratha without anything!”
This is all there is to it, and this is the "menu", but that did not prevent "Muhammad" from feeling proud, for carrying out his duties fully towards his small project. Rather, he carries the request himself and takes it to the customers' table, to present it to them with a beautiful smile that does not leave His young face!
By the way .. After this young man attracted me, who is still in his early years, I liked to know more details about him, so I was surprised that he was from a very well-known family, and he found him one of the most important, famous and largest businessmen in the country, and this is simply something that increased my respect for this young man, where he was He could employ whoever he wanted from the workers, and he would sit with one foot on another to monitor them from afar. Rather, he could not have entered into this project from the ground up. Neither Parata nor Karak would significantly change his conditions, so he could collect their income for a year, if he requested This amount is directly from his family!
The important thing is the presence of these models from UAE youth, models that believe in the importance of work, specifically working in the private sector, where small projects that can grow and grow are models that do not see a flaw in the implementation of any suitable and acceptable idea, models that have the courage to implement and start work By themselves, and not relying on anything else, models that do not care about any negative comments, and do not pay attention to the view of society, they are fully convinced of what they are doing, and they have the courage to move forward with it!
The role now is on the various state agencies to support these young people. There are thousands other than "Muhammad" who have many ideas and many qualities that qualify them to start their small projects, but they lack sufficient support, and do not find the appropriate opportunity to enable them to fly high with their small idea, and they do not find enough support Later in the event that their idea succeeds, and subsequently they lose the opportunity for its continuity and growth!
These small projects are not a game, nor a luxury, they are one of the most important steps that must have full and comprehensive government support, as government jobs are limited, and the future requires the state to think about introducing these young people to the private sector, and the success of any Emirati entrepreneur means, in short The success of the entire economic cycle, and this is a vital matter that must be focused on.
