Nelson Mandela

some inspiring quotes by one of my greatest inspirations: Nelson Mandela

http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/367338.Nelson_Mandela

"Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." 

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.


you give me hope, you give strength to hold on. Thank you.
