“A friend of mine once saw Mandela in a South African airport and told me this story. The president had noticed a lady who was walking by with her daughter, a beautiful five- or six-year-old girl, with blond hair and blue eyes.

And if you work very hard in school and you learn a lot and you are nice to everybody, you too could grow up to be President of South Africa.”
