I saw 'Invictus' last night which is based on the book "Playing the Enemy"...

It's a great film starring Morgan Freeman as South African President Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Rugby Captain Francois Pienaar. It is the story of Nelson Mandela's first years as President of the culturally separated country in the run up to the Rugby World Cup in South Africa in 1995. The poem 'Invictus' is a great reminder to us all about what really matters in life.

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

William Ernest Henley
