Invictus or The Human Factor

"The great thing about everything good that has happened is that it can happen again. Simple as that."

-Archbishop Desmond Tutu: Invictus

This will just be a quick note to say please read this book: Invictus: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation. I promise you won't be disappointed.

This is an absolutely true fairy tale about how South Africa overcame apartheid. It's especially a good read for anyone who enjoys sports, but also a lesson for those of us who struggle to be better people. It's a story about overcoming the darkest sides of ourselves and the importance and overwhelming power of faith in and love of humanity.

The movie's good, but the book (as always) gives the whole picture.
