The greatest life lesson he has taught – is persistence. Standing up for

what you believe in, and staying focused, with a forgiving nature, and lack

an inspiration to freedom fighters the world over, and arguably the most

powerful voice for social justice ever in recent history.

writing. Whatever he took interest in – he would focus on

them to reach their full potential.
