Before
the sunset, I and my friends decided to take a stroll and try the local
Shawarma. We originally plan to take a walk along the creek but because the
heat is unbearable we decided to go to Dubai Mall. There was a multitude
of people enjoying and shopping. When we arrived, I suggested we visit the
bookstore and luckily I found the book I was looking for. I am thankful that I
just got two books I needed for my further studies. Having these two tools
inspired me to pursue another field apart from my current profession.
We
roamed around the mall for an hour and decided to watch the fountain display
fronting Burj Khalifa. It was spectacular and amazingly alluring. I was
captivated for the span of time I was watching the entire presentation. After
the lights have gone out and the fountain display took a break, I stood under a
lamp post and took a picture of the magnificent man-made structure which was
hailed the tallest in the world. It was extremely mad just thinking how it was
built over the construction period summing the efforts, creativity, design, and
actual building of the Burj. I took a deep breath and momentarily got inspired
by the idea of pushing our limits. It used to be impossible probably during the
primitive years and at that moment I was standing in front of it being captivated
by its beauty.
I am
thankful for the experience I had with Burj Khalifa. I am thankful for the
inspiration it gave me. The structure has sparked
that passion in me to pursue whatever my heart desires
even how impossible it is for my current
conditions and resources. The encounter reminds me that I can do it with hard
work and patience. It took time for the tallest tower to be built and probably
numerous problems, glitches, and challenges but the people behind it did not
give up. The tower came into realization and thinking about it makes me
stronger and more determined to fight for what matters.
What
are you thankful for today?
