What I learned in Dubai, Part 4 – Borrow Brains

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

There are two million citizens in Dubai.  Two million people would never be able to build what they have by themselves in such a short time.  So they outsource the work.  They get engineers, and workers and talent from all over the world to work on their projects.

Right now as I understand, there are nine million foreign workers in Dubai.  Think of that.  Two million citizens with a total of 11 million people building their country.

Foreigners can never become citizens.  Your father has to be an Emirati for you to be.  Citizens enjoy benefits non-citizens do not.

It’s amazing what you can do when you don’t try to do it all yourself and you find the right people to help you.
