Nelson Mandela Analysis

Nelson Mandela is indeed a great man for the world and a great former president to those of Africa. He became an inspiration as of today, Why? Not just because of his famous quotes but because of himself being a champion of Human Rights, Dignity and Freedom to South Africa. Currently, we are celebrating his 100th Birthday!

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” -Nelson Mandela

That’s one of his famous quotes where he focuses on the struggle of people before doing what they want. We’ve been very overthinking of what would be the result of our deeds. We’ve been very curious about it, we have judgments in our minds, What if its absurd? What if its unachievable? Lets be reminded of Shakespeare’s famous quote about life-“…before you quit, try…” All of the judgments and impossible way of thinking beneath our minds can lead us to quit and never try. We can never win, be triumphant, victorious and successful until we try. It had been very impossible until its done. If we would think that a thing is impossible, it will remain impossible if we’ll never try it. Trying can be the way, for that thing to be done. “Nothing is impossible” as what they’ve said. Lets stop our mind being negative, negativities can be very crucial. It stops us from trying and making it for our way of turning impossible to possible.

Anybody thinks of some thing being impossible. They’ve been judged and criticized about their innovations. Those discriminations became the way, the way for them to stop making that process. They could have just did it successfully but because of that factor, they think of it being impossible. We’ve been given a verdict by somebody that changes our mind. Let’s anticipate and foresee for its possibilities. Don’t let their words become the hindrance of doing it. Lets look for its positive side.

We as a youth, we’ve been going with the flow of being ‘millenials’. We’ve born on the day where technology existed. Before posting on social media, we criticize. Before taking pictures, we’ll find a perfect spot. It’s very cliché right? It doesn’t even connects to the quote of Nelson Mandela. It had been very impossible. But think of it, you’ll see how connected it was. On these days, technology existed, nothing is imposibble, the human race created many inventions that makes way for the possibilities. Science had proven all of the impossibilities of the world. The Social Media, decades passed when humans find it hard to communicate to different persons in the world, but technology changed that impossibility by means of Social Media. It’s for us, it’s the way for us to communicate through chat. See how I created the comparison, at first glance, its kinder hard, it doesn’t even relate to the topic but if we’ll scrutinize it properly, we’ve seen it being connected. Its a perfect example of “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

Life can be very tricky, we have our minds that thinks of negativities, “what if this doesnt work?” There’s nothing bad if we’ll try and pursue what would be it. Its just that, positivities can come along. If such thing didnt work, atleast it had taught you a lesson and just try another idea that can probably make your feelings at ease and tells you the positivities in life. We can make differences in our worl. We made mistakes. We are just like any normal person. There is nothing impossible unless youll work on it. The possibilities in life is in our hands just waiting for your response.

We just need to ensure that our lives doesn’t depend on the hearsays, instead lets focus on our own conviction that you to can make it possible. Possibilities are everywhere, we are just blinded by the imposibilities getting stucked in our minds. We have our own insights and beliefs but these can be either Positive or Negative. Precisely, just focus on the side where your thoughts can be possible and you too can benefit. Positivities to equip, Negativities to set aside, positivities that can lead to a better you, negativities that can lead to a mind full of prefixes “un” and “im” where impossible are located, unachievable and unattainable can be seen, Positivities that causes a life full of hope that anything can be done.
