So I was now reposting it with the proper attribution both times.

That new post went viral.

And here's why.

Everyone deals with haters and naysayers and people telling you that what you did was not good enough so people could relate.

In the end, if you move through with good intentions and make mistakes and own them, 99% of people will relate and understand.

Here's the funniest part of the story.

Turns out the quote isn't actually attributed to Nelson Mandela.

During the final editing process, it was brought to my attention by one of our many editors that this quote has been attributed to numerous people and it is not sourced properly.

Knowledge is power.

And it would have been powerful to have known this during the exchange.

However, I am still pleased with how it all played out.

Takeaway.

Be careful before you attack others.

You never know.

You may have bad information like that woman did.

You've seen the buzz, but let me give you the inside scoop.
