He's the Man-dela
Ok, now that you want to kill me because of that shitty title, (and don't worry ... I know how terrible it is) I want to introduce you to Nelson Mandela. Maybe you haven't heard of him. If you haven't ... leave now and open a fucking book. How dumb and sheltered are you. If you seriously need help read this for starters.
I could name people like Nelson Mandela every week, but I try to pick less famous cases. Not that obscenely famous people don't deserve this highest of high praise, but they usually haveto do something special recently to get the honor. Along those lines, Mr. Mandela just turned 90 last week. Therefore there were lots of news related articles about him and his life so far. I want you to read this one from Time.com entitled "Mandela: His 8 Lessons of Leadership". It didn't change my life or anything like that, but it gives a good look into the mind of one of the most courageous leaders of the 20th century and made me want to share the man and his message with you, my loyal readers. All five of you.
