Mandela

In class today, while speaking of freedom, as part of my class on Anthropology, I spoke about Nelson Mandela and today was also his 95th b'day.

There is no such thing as part freedom.

Truly, an inspirational icon of our era... and as someone greeted him on this occasion, "Thanks for making this world a better place!"

I came across a couple of his inspirational words here.
And given my present state of mind, the one that really caught my eye (and heart) is this one:

Lead from the back and let others believe they are in front.

And this one too...

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
