In his most private moment, watching the sun set with the music of Handel or Tchaikovsky playing-is his greatest pleasure.....Born on the 18th of July 1918 in a village near Umtata in the Transkei, emerges one of the greatest anti-apartheid heroes of all time. He is none other than Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.
Mandela's words, "The struggle is my life," are not to be taken lightly." and "After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb." This shows that Mandela was a person who despite being faced with many difficulties, was able to endure through such circumstances and emerge as someone whom had gained the recognition of many great leaders.
Mandela faced many challenges in his life. He was convicted countless number of times; having to go to jail for contravening the Suppression of Communism Act and was then given a suspended prison sentence. Later on, he had been confined to Johannesburg for six months after being prohibited from attending gatherings. Spending nearly his entire life in prison but for a reason-he stood up in what he believed in and never lost hope in it until the day when the apartheid law was finally abolished.
On the contrary, being too enthusiastic in his work, Nelson Mandela was said to have created incitements amongst his people which may have lead to a civil war. Mandela is a person who is able to change the views of people within in one night and thus holds a great responsibility in leading his people on the right tract. This way, it was dangerous as it meant that innocent lives were being put on the line during his protests and that many will be lost eventually.
To me not everyone is perfect, but in what you have done which makes you stand out amongst the ordinary in a positive way- then you are indeed a person who is laudable and praiseworthy of.
