Nelson Mandela dies

While many are acclaimed to be 'great people' with the strength of conviction, power and humility to influence others in reality few people really are worthy of that accolade.

Nelson Mandela is not and was not one of them. He should forever more be remembered as one of those uniquely gifted and influential people of our time. The fact that he survived to 95 years of age is a miracle based on the treatment he received prior to and during his time in prison. What he achieved after his release, and his influence not only in his native South Africa but across the globe will be a long and lasting legacy that all other politicians should strive to follow and emulate.

Nelson Mandela, I salute and will always remember you!
