1 MANDELA COACHING JOURNAL 2014 Compiled by DR MESHACK KHOSA This Journal is FREE of CHARGE and you are WELCOME to circulate it to your associates, colleagues and friends. 1

2 1. For to be free is not merely to cast off one s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. Nelson Mandela 2. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Nelson Mandela 2

3 3. A good head and good heart are always ta formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special. Nelson Mandela 4. After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. Nelson Mandela 3

4 5. "Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end." Nelson Mandela 6. If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, which goes to his heart. Nelson Mandela 4

5 7. Lead from the back and let others believe they are in front. Nelson Mandela 8. There is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. Nelson Mandela 5

6 9. If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner. Nelson Mandela 10. For to be free is not merely to cast off one s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. Nelson Mandela 6

7 11. There is no such thing as part freedom Nelson Mandela 12. Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated. Nelson Mandela 7

8 13. During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to see realized. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. - Nelson Mandela 14. There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires. - Nelson Mandela 8

9 15. Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. - Nelson Mandela 16. Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies. - Nelson Mandela 9

10 17. A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. - Nelson Mandela 18. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must 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 opposite. - Nelson Mandela 10

11 19. Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement. - Nelson Mandela 20. There is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. - Nelson Mandela 11

12 21. "Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do." - Nelson Mandela 22. "Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." - Nelson Mandela 12

13 23. "The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us." - Nelson Mandela 24. "We recall our terrible past so that we can deal with it, to forgive where forgiveness is necessary, without forgetting; to ensure that never again will such inhumanity tear us apart; and to move ourselves to eradicate a legacy that lurks dangerously as a threat to our democracy." - Nelson Mandela 13

14 25. "Great anger and violence can never build a nation. We are striving to proceed in a manner and towards a result, which will ensure that all our people, both black and white, emerge as victors. - Nelson Mandela 26. "Reconciliation means working together to correct the legacy of past injustice. - Nelson Mandela 14

15 27. When people are determined they can overcome anything. - Nelson Mandela 28. It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership. - Nelson Mandela 15

16 29. Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end. - Nelson Mandela 30. If I had my time over I would do the same again. So would any man who dares call himself a man. - Nelson Mandela 16
