Read and listen to the accolades pouring in for this man.
Nelson Mandela is the only person who has died in recent memory of which I have
no criticism – I just feel awe. It may be extreme but it doesn’t mean that
leaders can’t aspire to be like Mr. Mandela, because they will be granted
incredible power to do things.

The Lessons of Nelson Mandela
In our material world which encourages the accumulation of
wealth and status, Nelson Mandela’s humanity and dedication to others demonstrates
the mark of a great leader. He was a totally powerful man, who could have
boasted of his many amazing accomplishments, yet chose not to. For this innate
modesty, he was respected. As with other historical luminaries such as Abraham
Lincoln, he sacrificed his own well-being and personal happiness to change for
the better the lives of others.
