Time posts a reflection from Nelson Mandela..

No. 1
Courage is not the absence of fear — it’s inspiring others to move beyond it

No. 2
Lead from the front — but don’t leave your base behind

No. 3
Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front

No. 4
Know your enemy — and learn about his favorite sport

No. 5
Keep your friends close — and your rivals even closer

No. 6
Appearances matter — and remember to smile

No. 7
Nothing is black or white

No. 8
Quitting is leading too
