20 years ago today one man led the way

Its difficult to put into words exactly the impact that Nelson Mandela has had, not just on South Africa, but on the world as a whole. It's not difficult because the words aren't there to describe him, they are, Brave,Courageous , Forgiving, Inspirational, the list really is endless. It difficult because you don't know which words are the most important, which ones you should use. Images perhaps are a better tool, the bbc's audio slideshow definitely goes someway to explaining his impact, his legacy.

For me personally his greatest lasting effect will be inspiration. Whenever I read, hear or see something relating to Nelson Mandela I become inspired. My heart beats a little faster, I get excited by the knowledge that I can make a difference. Nelson Mandela inspires us all to reach further, higher and to work hard for a better world.
