STORY CORNER
Nelson Mandela evolved from a militant activist to unify South Africa. 27 years of imprisonment transformed him into a mature leader with a deep capacity to forgive and reconcile people.
“You can’t solve a problem with the same mindset in which it was created.”

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose a response. In our response lie our growth and our freedom.”
