Today the world is remembering the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela ‘Madiba’ on Mandela Day, and on this commemorative day this year we are celebrating what would have been his 100th birthday. It’s a good time to reflect on his philosophy in life - he said, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” So on this special day, we are all asked in our own small way to be inspired by his example and to try to make the world a better place - not just on this one day of the year, but to make every day a Mandela Day. By each of us making a conscious decision to each day do something that can change the world for the better, by giving a little of our time to making a change that’s close to our hearts, or by giving a little of our time to make a difference to the life of someone else, we can start changing the world around us. That’s the best way of remembering Madiba and continuing his legacy!
Have yourself an inspired entrepreneurial day! - Melanie
