Every year on June 18th, Nelson Mandela Day is observed to honour the memory of a great leader who sparked a revolution in the twentieth and twenty-first century. This day provides a chance for everyone to reflect on themselves and imbibe Nelson Mandela qualities such as courage, forgiveness, charity, patience, and self-confidence.
Nelson Mandela was a man of ethics who lived a life that extended beyond himself and was dedicated to the betterment of others. That tells volumes about his excellent nature and golden heart.
