Yesterday marked the death of an amazing human being and educator, yes, educator, prophet and beautiful soul, Nelson Mandela. We mark the end of his life on earth but the life he lived, people he touched, and nation and world that he changed will forever live on in our conversations and interactions that we have with each other. Perhaps, whats most remarkable about Mandela was his dedication to his own personal development through education. "Education is the most powerful weapon to which you can change the world," Nelson stated and for over three decades imprisoned he spent he spent his time reading and learning about himself and his adversaries. He went onto say that "Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do." Its a love for what you do and seeing that you do have the power to change and overcome.
