| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: The Difference Dr Maxwell Ubah., 2015-06-15 Why do some people succeed and others fail under the same conditions and circumstances? Put in another way, why do some people with limited resources, opportunities and potentials fare better in life than others who seemed to have it all? What accounts for the difference between successful people and ordinary people, between successful companies and the also-rans, and between successful nations and kleptocracies? In The Difference, Leadership Coach and Strategy Consultant Dr Maxwell Ubah writes that successful people are not different from ordinary people; they only do things differently. Using an ancient parable between an entrepreneur and his three employees, he identified ten principles of success that set successful people apart from ordinary people. Dr Ubah Maxwell has hit a home run with The Difference. It challenges individuals to leave the beaten path of mediocrity and live a life of personal significance. I strongly recommend it to all who desire to achieve the extraordinary with their lives. Sonny Allison, founder/director, Red Star Express Plc. Dr Maxwell Ubah has packaged a little dynamite that could blow off the shell shielding success. Or put more appropriately, The Difference is a roadmap to success and fulfilment in life, as long as were ready to blow off the lid. Simon Kolawole, editor, Thisday (newspaper) |
| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: Difference Makers M. Scott Boren, 2013-06-15 Christians want to make a difference, but sometimes the ministry bar is raised so high that only those who are go-getters can do it. Mission work can look like a drastic life change, unattainable to those who aren't in full-time ministry. So the average church member is left without a mission. Pastor and author M. Scott Boren shows how ordinary Christians can make a huge impact through their everyday lives. Boren teaches church members how to make a difference for God where they are. At work. With friends. In the neighborhood. Mission work doesn't need to be a life-altering event. It can be simply living a life that honors Jesus and points others to him. |

Author Dean Gualco, public speaker and the owner of Torgun Consulting, explores how organizations and individuals can initiate, manage, and capitalize on change in this instructive guidebook. He explains ways to - recognize when it makes sense to change; - create a framework to manage change effectively; - harness imagination and originality to outpace competitors; and - encourage colleagues to embrace necessary change. Too often, change is viewed through a prism of conflict and negativity. Millions of people have lost their jobs because of changing technology, and others have lost their health and retirement benefi ts as organizations have cut costs. We find ourselves in a world where older people can't retire and younger people can't find jobs. But avoiding or hindering change won't solve anything; instead, it's important to tackle it head-on. In Making a Difference, you can discover how pursuing the right dreams at the right time and for the right reasons can change your life. |
| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: Eccentricity David Arthur Auten, 2014-04-22 The church has been inundated in recent years with literature emphasizing the relational and the value of community. David Auten provides an alternative perspective and counterbalance, bringing our attention back to the other indispensable side to the communal--the individual and the sacredness of the self. Eccentricity is a sustained meditation on this strange and fundamental fact: there has never been, nor will there ever be, another you. You are inescapably and irrevocably different. But what does your difference mean? And who are you really? Weaving together insights from Calvin, Caussade, Jung, Derrida, Wolterstorff, and others, Auten guides the reader through a spiritual exploration of the difference implicit in being a self, the divine calling to make a difference, and the interconnectedness of the two. The result is an arresting bricolage reminding us of the wonderfully eccentric nature of human existence. |

| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: Mandela Charlene Smith, 2013 The measure of a politician is not in his or her words; spin doctors take care of those. It is in what they do to improve the lives of their people. A successful lawyer, Nelson Mandela sacrificed career, family and freedom to pursue an extravagant ideal: a non-racist, non-sexist future for a nation apparently determined to remain divided. At his release, after almost three decades in jail, he could have pursued narrow interests; the world would have supported him. Instead he publicly embraced reconciliation and social justice. Nelson Mandela was determined to free not just black South Africans, but all South Africans, from prejudice. And it was in daring to do the unexpected, in weathering criticism from friends, in reaching out to enemies and in acknowledging the most humble that his greatness was revealed. |

| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: Invictus John Carlin, 2009-11-18 Read the book that inspired the Academy Award and Golden Globe winning 2009 film INVICTUS featuring Morgan Freeman and Matt Daymon, directed by Clint Eastwood. Beginning in a jail cell and ending in a rugby tournament—the true story of how the most inspiring charm offensive in history brought South Africa together. After being released from prison and winning South Africa’s first free election, Nelson Mandela presided over a country still deeply divided by fifty years of apartheid. His plan was ambitious if not far-fetched: use the national rugby team, the Springboks—long an embodiment of white-supremacist rule—to embody and engage a new South Africa as they prepared to host the 1995 World Cup. The string of wins that followed not only defied the odds, but capped Mandela’s miraculous effort to bring South Africans together again in a hard-won, enduring bond. |

| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: Truth and Reconciliation Thomas E. Malewitz, 2024-02-15 Framed within the lens of Robert Greenleaf's Servant Leadership model, Truth and Reconciliation examines and explores trends through global historical accounts and examples of diplomatic leadership surrounding the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions of South Africa and Canada, as a guide to approach America's divided identity and racial tensions. Through the wisdom and diplomacy illustrated during the transition of a South African nation defined by legal racial segregation of apartheid to democracy, as well as a Canadian national identity deeply scarred through the cultural genocide of generations of First Nations children and families through the abusive Residential School system and the Sixties Scoop, it is the hope that this manuscript will offer insights as well as a theological lens for reflection to approach a nonviolent narrative-based option of seeking truth and the first steps toward reconciliation, beyond cyclic ideologies. By highlighting the historical parallels between South Africa, Canada, and America, this manuscript serves as a conversation starter, offering reflective stories and activities to help establish an initial dialogue in a nation whose consciousness remains deeply rooted in unresolved cultural conflict from Indigenous genocide as well as the residual deep cultural challenges and stereotypes of American slavery ideology and practices. |

| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: Hollywood or History? Thomas E. Malewitz, Adam P. Zoeller, 2023-01-01 Teaching and learning through Hollywood, or commercial, film and television productions is anything but a new approach and has been something of a mainstay in the classroom for nearly a century. However, purposeful and effective instruction through film is not problem free and many challenges accompany classroom applications of Hollywood motion pictures. In response to the problems and possibilities associated with teaching through film, we are developing a collection of practical, classroom-ready lesson ideas that might bridge gaps between theory and practice and assist teachers endeavoring to make effective use of film in their classrooms. We believe that film can serve as a powerful tool in the social studies classroom and, where appropriately utilized, foster critical thinking and civic mindedness. The NCSS College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) framework, represents a renewed and formalized emphasis on the perennial social studies goals of deep thinking, reading and writing. Our hope is that this edited book might play a small role in the larger project of supporting practitioners, specifically 6-12 teachers of social studies and world religion content, by offering a collection of classroom-ready tools based on the Hollywood or History? strategy and designed to foster inquiry through the careful use of selected motion pictures and television productions. Topics of interest include the roots, rituals, symbols, beliefs, and controversial or significant people or events related to: • The Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam • Eastern Religions/Philosophies: Hinduism, Buddhism • Indigenous Religions/Spirituality: First Nations, Traditional African Religions |

| martin luther king jr and nelson mandela similarities: Inner Democracy Hubert J. M. Hermans, 2020-09-12 Inner Democracy: Empowering the Mind Against a Polarizing Society investigates the psychological backgrounds of contemporary societal problems such as hate speech, authoritarianism, and divisive forms of identity politics, and how we can counter such destructive forces. The book argues that a democratic society needs citizens who do more than just express their preference for free elections, freedom of speech, and respect of constitutional rights. Rather, democracy is vital only if it is deeply rooted in the hearts, minds, and selves of its participants. In the field of tension created by societal power clashes and absolute truth pretensions, the book investigates how opposition, cooperation, and participation work as innovative forces in a democratic self. Democracy is understood as a personal learning process and as a dialogical play between thought and counter-thought, between imagination and counter-imagination, and between emotion and reason. Written for social scientists, teachers, journalists, and parents who are interested in the facilitation of democracy in a wide variety of situations, this book proposes inner democracy as an antidote against the widespread polarization in our society. |
