Many things can happen to a man’s life but this is one of the best life's a man can get. Colin Powell has done some great choices and exciting achievements. Colin Powell is a great man and he made good choices and some bad choices in his life. You can do

    From the viewpoint of a Christian, I consider his worthy actions as a redemption. In the past, when he was alive, he was a selfish prince who only sought for and enjoyed pleasure. He shut himself in his palace away from those who really need his help. Living in the upper class, he never looked down at the lower class to see what life they led, what trouble they were in, what kinds of dreams they desired for and what misery they were suffering. Now after his death, when people erect him high above on the tall column, he has a chance to see the pain, sorrow, misery, poverty, ugliness and suffering of the poor and the needy around him. His lead heart is filled with love, pity and compassion. But it is too late. How can he help others while he can not move and has no power? Contrary to the past, although he was a young and powerful prince and easily…
