A recent tweet from prominent UAE commentator Sultan Al-Qassemi<\/a> drew a touching response.<\/p>\n

The New York uni educated and Yale University ‘World Fellow 2018’ recipient is currently working on a presentation for the prestigious university, in it he wondered what he had done, ‘tried to do and failed to do in order to contribute to a “good society.”<\/p>\n

And the touching response on his Twitter feed from so many was his answer<\/h4>\n
\n

I am working on a presentation for Yale on what I did, and tried to do and failed to do in order to contribute to a “good society.” Going over old articles, it’s making me quite nostalgic (also I *had* guts. Who was that guy?!)<\/p>\n

Popular Emirati vlogger and motivational speaker Khalid AlAmeri<\/a> was quick to jump in<\/h3>\n

Sultan ‘paved the way for us to do the work we do’<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019ve followed you since you blogged on the \u201cSultan\u2019s Notes\u201d and believe me you opened up a world to so many of us Sultan and paved the way for us to do the work we do, writers, creatives, journalists to name a few and I will always be grateful to you for that.<\/p>\n

You are still contributing to society<\/h4>\n
\n

you still do. & if you choose not to revive him, you\u2019ve left little remnants of inspiration in most of your nephews and nieces. in a way, you still *are* contributing to society.<\/p>\n

This user credits Al-Qassemi for publicising the Khaleeji art scene<\/h4>\n
\n

Who said you failed? If it wasn’t for your efforts many of us – myself included – would not have known about the khaleeji art scene and development. You did well.<\/p>\n

And engaging young people across the region to speak up<\/h4>\n
\n

The guy who encouraged thousands and thousands of people to think, to speak up. Especially Young people who were too lost to understand what was happening in the world.<\/p>\n

Al- Qassemi took a 12-month break from Twitter in 2017<\/h3>\n

Disappearing from the social media site with no explanation to his over 500k followers, his absence was noted. However, Twitter rejoiced when he reappeared in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

If you go dark online for a year and a large cohort of people recognize your absence, I would say what you tried to do was pretty darn effective.<\/p>\n
