"It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences."
-Nelson Mandela
Foreign Correspondents Association Annual Dinner
Johannesburg, South Africa
November 21, 1997
Nelson Mandela was a man whose life's "unpleasantness" included apartheid and imprisonment, to name only a few. He led his country and inspired the world. If he says you can grow from the pleasant and unpleasant, the good and the bad, I am compelled to believe him.
May we all grow from ALL of our experiences.
