After all: "It is an enduring tribute to the strength of the human spirit that despite the bleak prognosis of his bone tumor hanging over him, Mansor was able to lead a productive and creative life." This, I think, is the greatest lesson we can take from Mansor. We all have free will. And we can choose, in the face of terrible adversity and pain, to forge ahead despite it all. Bravo on a great spotlight on such a great man. Mansor is truly an inspiration.

He remained true to his inner calling regardless of the wishes of his family, the difficulties of living in NY, and his considerable bout with bone cancer. Any of these barriers would have been enough to halt most people in their chosen pursuit, but the spark of creativity would not be denied in Mansor, and we as human beings are all the better for it.
