The Embodiment
Of “The Audacity Of Hope”
The Teachers of the
thought process create interminable learning experiences for ordinary
people in the audacity of hope.
My heroes:
Mahatma Gandhi,
Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, President
Barack Obama.
The Spirit lives on!
Mahatma Gandhi
Through
the 1930s and the 1940s Mahatma Gandhi born on October 2, 1869, in
Porbandar, India, headed India’s movement for independence by
challenging the civil rights of Indians under the British, not with
violence rule and weapons, but with organized boycotts against
British institutions in peaceful protest forms of civil disobedience
that would influence the world.
Nelson
Rolihlahla Mandela
Born: July 18, 1918, Mvezo, South Africa.
He was
a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and
philanthropist.
Nelson
Rolihlahla Mandela became the first black president of South Africa
in 1994, serving until 1999. He was a symbol of global peacemaking.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 "for his work for the peaceful
termination of the apartheid regime, and for laying the foundations
for a democratic South Africa."
Martin
Luther King Jr.
He was awarded the Nobel peace prize "for his nonviolent resistance to racial predjudice in America."
Barack

“One thing will emerge from these reflections: there is no one tool
for thinking. Experience by itself begets chaos in the absence of
pattern recognition, memory, association, and some form of reasoning.
Reason by itself is sterile, absent some practically reliable bases
from which to draw our inferences, explanations, and generalizations.
Intuition by itself offers no decision procedure, invention by itself
is dangerously speculative. The magic is in the mix.” - James Hall.
This group is the perfect fit.
They exemplifies the embodiment of “The Audacity Of
Hope”. I am fortunate to have seen these men in action! Lucidity would decree that another leader would surface. The question is that
our hope is inquisitive as to whether he/she is already born?
