“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
― Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela celebrated his 94th birthday yesterday, July 18, 2012. Communities in South Africa dedicated 67 minutes of the day to volunteer work and projects for the needy – one minute to mark each of Mandela's 67 years in public service. Education officials estimated nearly 12 million children kicked off celebrations at 8 a.m. (0600 GMT) with resounding "Happy Birthday" choruses in schools from well-funded private institutions to barely furnished rooms in villages. Millions more South Africans joined in from offices, buses, train stations and Mandela Square, set amid the plush skyscrapers and exclusive boutiques of Johannesburg's Sandton City. Huffington Post
