10 Lessons From the Book Long Walk to Freedom By Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was a South African activist and the first prime minister of South Africa

A Nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but it's lowest ones

Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people.

Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Many people in this country have paid the price before me and many will pay the price after me.

Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.

It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.
