After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
[Nelson Mandela]
Such humility (and restless aspiration) coming from a man so great makes me feel unworthy to even wish him a Happy Birthday.
Nonetheless, I join the world in celebrating Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday this week. And, adding to his inspirational legacy, it was encouraging to see that he still has a rhythmic appreciation for pop music.
So here’s to Madiba: Long may he live…to climb and climb and climb.
Meanwhile, the juxtaposition of the world celebrating Mandela whilst condemning his liberation comrade, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, is noteworthy. Indeed, it is instructive that Mandela interrupted praises to him to join the international chorus of those condemning Mugabe.
