Unfortunately, he died two years ago, so I will never have a chance to meet him. It always has amazed me how someone who spends so much time in prison could be so peaceful. I was grown while the Apartheid legislation was still ruling SouthAfrica and he was still in prison. Finally, he was released and became president of the country when the 1994 general elections took place, I knew about his story but I was not captured by his figure until I read John Carlin book "Playing with the Enemy" and watched the movie Invictus based in the book.
Luckily he left a few books I still can read to better know the story of this amazing leader.
Yeah, Invictus was great. It is amazing to see him go through the ordeals as a freedom fighter.
So many have endured terrible things, pain and injustice, but Mandela is one that stands out - I think, despite everything he went through, he would look back on his life and feel content with how he conducted himself. I think we could all learn a lot from him.
I watched (from afar) in real time. Nelson Mandela was just an incredible hero for me. What a terrific choice. Thank you for it.

ENGAGEtokens.I think a person could learn much from Mandela. Not just about leadership but about perseverance, persistance, ownership and how to take ownership of self.
This is a good choice; An hour spent with Nelson Mandela would be an hour well spent.
That's an interesting choice to have Mandela as the person. There's a lot to learn from him, both savory and unsavory information. I think it would certainly be an hour that goes by fast!
