From what I researched on, all I can say is that Thomas Edison is a product of from grass to grace because he was just a bit that sold candies and newspapers along train road until he saved the life of a three year old Jimmie MacKenzie from being strucked by a train and in return her father took interest in him and trained him to be a Telegraph operator and that was how his career began. He kept improving and kept developing till he started his inventions.
Nelson Mandela from my findings Was a determined man that didn’t allow anything to stop him, though he was imprisoned twice while seeking for justice and even sent ok a life imprisonment, it still didn’t stop him from fighting . He became the First president of South Africa on 10 May 1994 – 16 June 1999. He refused a second tenure which many president can’t even do because he believed in doin the right thing alone , and he was succeeded by his deputy.
Mandela was an elder statesman and he focused on combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the charitable Nelson Mandela Foundation.
He was Widely regarded as an icon of democracy and social justice, he received more than 250 honours, including the Nobel Peace Prize.
I cannot share all the above 250 honors so I Will just share a link to the honors
I chose NELSON MANDELA because he was a true LEADER. The impact of his tenure was felt globally . He taught against poverty and hiv/aids so earnestly and he was an activist Asa philanthropist. He was accessible and truly a leader who listens to his people. The movie “Sarafina” was made in memory/honor of him.
His zeal, his Passion, his courage , his leadership skills , his perseverance, …. are the things I would love to copy from him.
Thanks for reading

you have dealt with it, Nelson Mandela was greatly known for his fearlessness that was what God wanted him to do and to be. Ordinary people can't go that far. Thanks for sharing.
