What's new

Defence.pk pays tribute to Nelson Mandela.

May he rest in peace, he was one of those great leaders that the world barely witnesses.
 
A friend of mine just emailed me about Mandela's death and is what I replied back to him.

----------------------------------------------
Hey, no, I have not heard the news about Mandela. Indeed: RIP! I too remember him from way back. Though I was a bit indifferent--because uninformed-- South Africa was on my radar a bit because it’s cricket team was banned to play international games because of the Apartheid. Then the TV in Pakistan started showing news related to Mandela’s release from jail. I felt an instant empathy and sympathy: Oh, poor guy, being jailed for so long. How cruel.
Needless to say, the ban against SA cricket was lifted and they are now #1 Test Cricket team in the world--in fact, they just thrashed Pakistani cricket team in UAE a few weeks ago.
 
A great man and a great loss RIP Nelson Mandela

"No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his/her skin, background, or even his/her religion. People learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposites"

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world "

Nelson Mandela (July 18, 1918 - December 5 2013)



Two of the most greatest saying that I held in my heart
