——因為他為人如此和藹可親,甚至還有些詼諧,盡管他經(jīng)歷了諸多的重負(fù)我們才如此喜歡他。他不是大理石制作的雕像。他是有血有肉的人——兒子和丈夫,父親和朋友。正因為如此,我們從他身上學(xué)到了很多東西。正因為如此,我們始終可以向他學(xué)習(xí)。他取得的成就沒有一樣是必然的結(jié)果。我們從他的一生中看到,他奮勇斗爭,殫智竭慮,堅韌不拔,堅持信念,在歷史上贏得了自己的地位。他告誡我們什么是可能做到的,不僅可以載入史冊,而且在我們自己的生活中得到體現(xiàn)。Mandela showed us the power of action。of taking risks on behalf of our Madiba was right that he inherited, “a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness” from his we know he shared with millions of
