The "view" of Nelson Mandela

Talk about leaving a legacy...through trials/tribulation/triumphs Nelson Mandela has always shown his true character and the need to be free.  All the news lately has been about how close to death he is but I hope we never forget the legacy he will leave behind.

Education can change the world-and there is never a time when people stop learning.  Lifelong learning  is a powerful weapon for growth and improving ones life and the lives of those around you.

  1. We must instill the importance of life-long learning in everyone. While not everyone agrees with everything Nelson Mandela has done in his lifetime, he is definitely leaving a legacy on this world. Education is key to breaking down the barriers that exist in our world.

  2. He is a pretty fantastic person. I have read a lot about him and it is really interesting the way his work is still working even though he is not directly involved anymore. A great man that did great things for this world. Hoping that he recovers and sticks with us for a little more time to shed some more great things upon us.

  3. Nelson Mandela is a phenomenal person and besides bragging to people that we share a birthday, I'm in awe of the accomplishments he achieved during his lifetime. The world is going to truly miss him and I'm saddened that his health is deteriorating like it is.
