1) Be a light, not a judge: Mandela was always a light on how to behave, leading only by setting the right example. For a man who was imprisoned for 26 years to forgive those who imprisoned him required thinking for the greater good.

Do we summon inspiration every day of our lives to remind ourselves to look at the bigger picture?
