Nelson Mandela lead a life of impact. His words provide direction, inspiration and motivation worthy of every bulletin board, poster, or tee-shirt! Mandela got success right!
The value of knowledge!
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Lean into your fear!
“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 that fear.”
Lesson in leadership!
“It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”
Hold on to the possible!
“It always seems impossible until its done.”
Don't let anything rob you of your passion!
“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.”
Time for good, always!
“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”
Act on your dreams!
“Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what they had because they didn’t have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?”
Let this fear move us to action!
“There is nothing I fear more than walking up without a program that will help me bring a little happiness to those with no resources, those who are poor, illiterate, and ridden with terminal disease.”
Believe you can do it!
"Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do."
Keep climbing!
“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”
Persistence is omnipotent!
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
