If Someone Ignores You Don't Do These Three Mistakes...!
Nelson Mandela's Best Life Lessons No One Has Ever Taught You Before
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. A wise man never returns to a place where he was humiliated for no reason. Your self-respect must be stronger than your feelings. What others think of you is none of your business.
If nobody helps you, do it alone.
Life is a one-time offer—use it well. Accept criticism, but never accept disrespect. Money isn’t everything, but it can solve many problems. We are all the villain in someone else's story. Be selfish with your time—most people don’t deserve it.
If you can survive your thoughts, you can survive anything.
The easiest way to forget someone is to stop thinking about them. Never say “maybe” when you want to say “no.” Investing in yourself drives your wealth. Walk some paths alone—your goals are personal.
Knowing your darkness helps you deal with the darkness in others.
Being alone allows you to reconnect with yourself. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Be kind to everyone—everyone is fighting their own battle. A man who starts many things at once finishes none.
You learn nothing from life if you always think you're right.
When angry, remain silent. The punishment of a liar is that even their truth is not believed. Life begins at 40—before that, it's research. The best way to respect yourself is through self-discipline.
If someone tries to bring you down, they’re already below you.
Some things money can't buy—manners, morals, and intelligence. A wise man decides for himself; an ignorant one follows the crowd. The language of truth is simple. Choose your neighbor before your house.
Look back to learn, look forward to succeed.
Everyone has time, but few use it wisely. Don’t share your past with just anyone—they may not understand or could use it against you. Followers rarely know the effort it takes for a leader to create the path.
Some people’s conversations feel like medicine—they heal.
Transformation begins with courage. Never stop improving yourself, no matter the cost. Build yourself in silence. Learn to accept rejection—it’s part of life.
To judge a person’s character, look at their friends.
Overcoming poverty is not charity—it’s justice. When someone is denied the life they deserve, they may have no choice but to rebel. A good head and a good heart are powerful together.
Add a literate pen or tongue to that, and it becomes extraordinary.
Courageous people forgive for peace. No one can free a country alone—it takes unity. Cleverness isn't wisdom. If someone thinks poorly of you, they’re already beneath you. People better than you simply don’t focus on you.
Waiting is hard, but regret is harder—don’t miss opportunities.
Sometimes you must stop seeing the good in people and start seeing their actions. Don’t overshare—privacy is power. Peace is the most powerful tool for growth.
Pain leaves only after it teaches you something.
If you have a true friend, you are rich. It’s not about where you start, but how far you aim. Know your enemy and what excites him. Free yourself from the advice of the blind crowd.
In my country, we go to prison first, then become president.
I learned in negotiation that to change others, I had to first change myself. It always seems impossible until it’s done. Your self-worth is more valuable than any toxic relationship.
No one is born hating another for skin color, background, or religion.
Hate is learned—and so is love. True freedom isn’t just removing chains, but uplifting others' freedom too.
If someone ignores you, avoid these three mistakes:
One—don’t overreact. Two—don’t appear weak. Three—don’t beg. Lead from behind and let others think they lead. Judge me not by success, but by how often I rose after falling.
Followers may never understand how hard the leader worked.
When the water boils, don’t turn off the heat. Courage includes forgiveness for peace. Poverty shortens life. Only free men can negotiate—prisoners cannot make deals.
To make peace with your enemy, work with him until he becomes your partner.
Don’t follow the crowd—follow what’s right. Where you stand depends on where you sit. Anything that costs your peace is too expensive. Learn to let go.
Happiness is found along the way, not just at the end.
If you’re not doing what you love, you’re wasting your life. I never lose—I either win or learn.

Having read Nelson Mandela’s book, I honestly believe that every politician should go to jail for 25 years before they’re allowed to lead a country. Mandela was one of a kind. What followed him was just the same bullshit corrupt, incompetent politicians.
Anti-White communist filth, along with his ugly wife. South Africa has been destroyed by blacks.
