Happy Birthday Madiba!
I had posted a full thought piece at Instablogs entitled
A Lesson on Madiba’s 90th Birthday
In summary…
Mandela was a great man but he was also an ordinary man, by his own admission, who found himself in extraordinary circumstances. His values shown throughout his life and his struggle against apartheid. We too face situations which are extraordinary and show us for what we truly are. So let’s strive to be the best human beings we can be and strive for the greatest ideals so that when we are faced with a situation, our truth will shine.
