"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart"
Nelson Mandela led the struggle to replace the apartheid regime of South Africa with a multi-racial democracy, and was the country's first black president.
This quote is particularly significant from a man whose words have had a huge impact across world politics. Mandela is famous for his personal struggle against oppression, imprisoned for the sake of social change. He said "I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities... It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
Nelson Mandela was born in 1918 into the Madiba tribal clan - part of the Thembu people - in a small village in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. He qualified as a lawyer and made it his vocation to campaign against apartheid, the system devised by the all-white National Party which oppressed the black majority.
As resistance to apartheid became violent, and in a climate of police brutality and clashes with protestors, Mandela, now Vice President of the African National Congress, launched a campaign of sabotage against the country's economy. He was eventually arrested and charged with sabotage and attempting to violently overthrow the government.
Despite many years in jail, he emerged to become He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. Resistance to apartheid grew, mainly against the new Pass laws, which dictated where blacks were allowed to live and work.
Many people wish to world peace. However, they would not have had the courage and fortitude to achieve that. We must find a way of achieving a more access to peace.
To achieve this we need a man of peace leader as Nelson Mandela.
I mentioned several times, Man Hee Lee Peace Leader is indispensable for the world peace with Nelson Mandela in this generation and he acts to work for the world peace as a peace advocate.
He tried hard to achieve his purpose. He have many good trits we can take on. We should copy his mind.
