R.I.P Mr. Mandela

Great men are rare. Great men who can inspire a whole world is exceptional ..... Mr. Mandela was Unique.

After twenty seven years in prison, in 1990, he was released and led South Africa in a peaceful transition from apartheid to democracy, which earned him the the greatest respect of not only South Africans, but people all over the world. In 1993 Nelson Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize. The next year he was inaugurated as president of South Africa by a new non-racial Parliament. He served as president for 5 years.

 A charismatic, tolerant, selfless and compassionate man, full of forgiveness, Mr. Mandela led the South African rainbow nation to reconciliation and unity. Madiba, as he is affectionately known, earned respect all over the world as a peacemaker and a great statesman, who cared for other people and inspired them with his wise words.

 

A lesson from Nelson Mandela's wisdom to adventurers, who are confronted with fear on the high mountains, the cold poles, the deep oceans, the warm deserts: “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers fear.”
