@Rus_Khairullin 100% agreed.
Being able to leave you watch, phone and laptop on a table on the pool safely, while you take a nice cool dip…..
Dubai is definitely different.
Best place in the world!

You Kendu It. 🦊🪖 🇮🇳
I’m originally from Not far from Belfast.
I now live in Dubai for the last 7 years.
I fear for my family back home, there’s a reason to leave the UK/Ireland/Europe…… and it’s for more than financial reasons.
It’s systematically broken on multi levels and the government has lost sight of what’s truly right.
The uk/Ireland is a 3rd world country now
There are many examples of people who kept building, researching, or advocating for something long before the rest of the world believed them.
1. Wright Brothers and human flight
At the end of the 19th century, many respected scientists believed controlled powered flight was impractical or decades away.
The Wright brothers were bicycle mechanics, not university researchers. They spent years building prototypes, crashing them, collecting their own aerodynamic data, and being ridiculed.
In 1903, they achieved the first controlled powered flight. Today, aviation is one of the foundations of the modern world.

2. Ignaz Semmelweis and handwashing
In the 1840s, Semmelweis noticed that doctors who washed their hands drastically reduced deaths among mothers after childbirth.
The medical establishment largely rejected him. Many doctors were offended by the implication that they themselves were spreading disease.
He spent years trying to convince people and died before receiving recognition.
Today, hand hygiene is one of the most basic principles of medicine.

3. Nikola Tesla and alternating current
Tesla believed alternating current (AC) was superior to direct current (DC) for transmitting electricity over long distances.
Many powerful interests, including Thomas Edison, opposed him.
The debate became known as the "War of Currents."
Tesla's approach ultimately won. Modern electrical grids around the world are based primarily on AC power.

4. Barbara McClintock and jumping genes
McClintock discovered that genes could move around within DNA.
At the time, most geneticists thought her findings were impossible.
For years her work was largely ignored.
Decades later, molecular biology confirmed she was correct, and she eventually received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1983.

5. Alfred Wegener and moving continents
In 1912, Wegener proposed that continents drift across Earth's surface.
Most geologists dismissed the idea because he couldn't explain the mechanism.
For decades the theory was considered fringe.
In the 1960s, evidence from plate tectonics confirmed the core of his idea. Today, continental drift is fundamental geology.

6. J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter
Before success, Rowling was a single mother living on a very limited income.
Her manuscript was rejected by numerous publishers.
Many believed the project had little commercial potential.
The series became one of the best-selling literary franchises in history.

7. Steve Jobs and personal computers
When Jobs and Steve Wozniak started building personal computers, many people viewed computers as machines for governments, corporations, and universities.
The idea that ordinary households would own computers seemed unrealistic.
Their vision helped create the personal computing revolution.

8. Elon Musk and reusable rockets
When Musk founded SpaceX, many aerospace experts thought reusable orbital rockets would be economically unworkable.
The company suffered multiple launch failures and came close to bankruptcy.
Today, reusable rockets have fundamentally changed the economics of space launches.

A pattern appears in many of these stories
The people who were eventually proven right usually had three things:
1. A thesis — a specific belief about how the world works or could work.
2. Persistence — they continued despite skepticism.
3. Evidence-building — they kept producing results, experiments, products, or data instead of relying only on arguments.
I see a parallel with KENDU here 👀
We build something that has the potential to revolutionise the world brand and business economics.
We have relentless people who are building concrete things to prove that this is the future!
