Overcoming obstacles

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

Nelson Mandela is a man I really look up to, and I hope I get to be like him someday. He is a political activist who fought against the Apartheid, which was a racist political move that had control over South Africa. Due to his stand against the government he was put in jail for 27 years. However, he managed not to hold any grudge against white people or let anyone break his spirit. He came out of jail to become president of South Africa and make the South African people, who used to kill each other in the streets only because of the color of their skin, forget their differences and come together as one country.

Guava
I like guava <3
Its yellow and pink
Its yellow on the outside and pink on the inside
It has seeds
You have to filter it when you make juice so that you don’t drink it´s seeds.
Tastes good
Many sweets are made with guava.

Guava is my favorite fruit. Guava juice is the best fruit juice ever, I like its natural taste, its smell is awesome and its texture, if mixed properly, is very good too. To prepare guava juice you need to add guavas and water to a mixer, you can peel the guavas so they won’t taste slightly bitter, mix, then filter the blend, a spoon may help to filter it faster, add sugar and enjoy! I recommend everyone to try out guava juice at least once. The guava is a really good fruit.

Quote

"A man is able to achieve anything he wants, as long as he is willing to give up everything else in return"

I really like that quote, I interpret it as "you are the only person that can limit yourself", if you couldn't achieve something was because you didn't wanted it bad enough or you didn't give enough of yourself to achieve it. In life, many times you have to choose your path, and to give up opportunities and work in order to obtain others, so to obtain something you must be ready to give something in return.
