    A simple message of hope

    Mother calls for peace not anger | News

    A lot of people have asked why Nelson Mandela stands out above all of those who have fought, suffered and given their lives for freedom and peace.

    I think it is simply that he came out after 26 years and not uttered a word against his captors and the awful regime that put him there. He chose instead to seek the positive and build on it.

    its too easy to blame others, but when you do you are not reaching the potential you could. There is always "what others did to you" holding you back like an anchor.
