2. From a vision to reality...

Sure we have a long road ahead of us yet as Mandela says below "Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward."

Forward, to reach our dreams and make them a reality.

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”

― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom: Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

This epic motion picture spans Mandela's extraordinary life, from his childhood in a rural village through to his inauguration as the first democratically elected President of South Africa.

You must go to the link grantcart~ The trailer is wonderful!
