Nelson Mandela

Vandaag is hij begraven, werelds meest bekende en succesvolle strijder op het gebied van vrijheid en gelijkheid. Om zijn gedachten voort te zetten, hem als inspiratie te blijven zien en hem te herdenken, hier 10 van zijn bekendste quotes met een kern van waarheid: 1. *“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”* Niets in deze wereld is onmogelijk, en dat liet ook Mandela ons zien. 2. *“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”* Veel mensen zijn pessimitisch en zijn snel negatief. Mandela spoorde ons aan om alles positief te bekijken, want hoe positiever je denkt, hoe positiever de uitkomsten waarschijnlijk zullen zijn. 3. *“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”* Je leeft niet alleen voor jezelf, maar ook voor anderen. 4. *“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”* Racisme is niets natuurlijks, maar iets wat wij ons hebben aangeleerd: 5. *“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”* 6. *“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”* 7. *“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”* 8. *“If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”* 9. *“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”* 10. *“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”* Van de armste tot de rijkste landen blijft onderwijs de sleutel tot succes. Laten we met zijn allen zijn strijden voor vrijheid en gelijkheid voortzetten!
