Lions Head, Cape Town, the beautiful Mother City of South Africa with Table Bay and Robben Island in the distance (where Nelson Mandela, “a true champion of justice, peace and reconciliation” made huge sacrifices being imprisoned all those long years in his pursuit of his cause, his ideals, his dream for a “unified Beloved Country”)

“There are many aspects of his game that separate him from the rest, starting with his physical capacity. His decision-making on defence at the front and back end of the breakdown is superb.”
– the words of former All Black coach, John Mitchell

“He gets on the potential wrong side of the law by getting there early and keeping his feet for as long as possible. He also gets his body in the perfect position before the ruck is formed. He has evolved his breakdown work as the law interpretations have changed…

“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.” – Nelson Mandela (1918 – 2013)
With the passing of Nelson Mandela this week, it is only fitting for today’s Super Quote Sunday to be one of his many inspiring leadership quotes. Even more inspiring – Mandela achieved the greatest accomplishments of his life after the age most of us retire. We should keep climbing those hills.
“The greatest mountain we need to climb lies in our our own minds”. It’s not the highest mountain that we conquer, but ourselves, our own mentality. Overcoming perceived limits to reach (attain) the pinnacle of our own minds.”

“Don’t aim at success – the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long run – in the long run, I say! – success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.”
