"One of the most difficult things is not to change society - but to change yourself."
Imprisoned for 27 years and enduring the rigors of battling apartheid, Nelson Mandela was able to change the world as we know it. However, changing who he is was even more difficult. Most of us will never face the struggles that Nelson Mandela endured, but we all have our own habits, problems, and excuses.

"It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny."
Have you ever walked into your boss’s office on annual review and mumbled under your breath, “I hope I get a good pay raise?” If you have, chances are you weren’t shocked afterwards when you didn’t get it. The reason? You were leaving something as important as your income to chance. Instead, why not choose to get the pay raise that you deserve? Choose to be the most indispensable employee in your company. Choose to make yourself so valuable that your boss has no choice but to give you everything you deserve and more. As Nick Hall observes, only then will your destiny be determined.
