More than 200 young customers enjoyed an evening full of entertainment ranging from music to sports. To kick-off the festivities, football freestyler Muhammed Al Noufali provided a show of skill. Local music favourites Just Jams were also present along with a beatbox and guitar performance by local college students. Home-grown Abbas Al Lawati tickled the audience’s funny bone with his stand-up comedy act. Driving the message home, Ahmad Al Harthy, the Sultanate’s high-octane Oman Circuit Racer and NBO’s Brand Ambassador, took the stage and shared his personal journey on the road to success.
Ahmad Al Harthy expressed, “It is always invigorating to be among young people who are so passionate about changing the world in their own way. Day in and day out, I race – it’s what I do for a living and it isn’t easy. But I love it. To achieve my goals, I need to train for hours a day, I need to remain committed and not give up, I need to stay focused and keep my head in the game. It is the path I chose for myself, and I won’t give up until I have reached my dreams. This is my message to young people: ask yourself ‘what is the purpose of my life?’. Find your passion to follow it without any compromise.”
