If you could spend a day with anyone you've never met, who would it be and why?

B Natural answer

If I had the chance, I'd spend a quiet day with Nelson Mandela. I'm interested in people who stayed calm under pressure and still kept their values. I think one day with him could teach me a lot about patience, leadership, and forgiveness. I wouldn't want a formal interview. Instead, I'd like a normal conversation over tea, because people often open up more that way. I would ask better questions about the moments that shaped him and the small habits that helped him keep going. That kind of day would help me see the world through their eyes.
