What is a mentor A mentor is a person who has had a lot of life experiences. Hardships, disasters, success have all been part of a mentor's life. Overcoming the disasters has made a good mentor who they are today.
Years ago you used to have your grandad or granny as an excellent mentor. But society has changed and grannies and grandads are still their, but their relationship to their grandchildren has changed.
Families all used to live together, or very close to each other. You could usually see your grandparents everyday. Any problem you had, they had an answer for you. Then things changed. You now have television, computers, air travel, drugs, freedom of movement, lack of corporal punishment a 'Nanny society'. This all means your grandparents now have a hard job keeping up with all of the corruption that you may have thrown at you.
I use the word corruption because you now cannot distinguish whether you are being corrupted or not. In your grandparents day it was easier to detect a corrupt activity. A mentor can help add to some of the advice you would have been given by your grandparents.

| A mentor is not an expert in all things. For instance if you ask your mentor how to work out a quantum physics equation, unless your mentor is a specialist in that area, you will not be given the answer. However your mentor can guide you to a place, person or suggest a way to tackle your problem. A mentor can only be a specialist in a few area's of life, but has a multitude of expertise in common sense and what is the right way forward for you.
A mentor is not a councellor, but will listen to your situation a guide you along the right path. When I am consulted in my capacity as a mentor I do not tell my clients what to do in certain situations. I listen to their request for help, offer a few options and inform them of the consequences and possible outcomes of each option.

My client makes the choice of what to do next, armed with the information I have given. The choice is always my client. A good mentor will never tell you exactly what you must do. As humans we have been given two choices in our lives, to act or not to act. | Each choice has its own consequences. You can decide not to act by watching television all day or you can go out and act out your dream. The consequences of watching television all day are that you may become overweight and lack energy. The consequences of you actively seeking your dream is that it will happen. All dreams come true if you know how to work towards them.

Because of this 'Nanny' state we seem to be in at the moment we expect things to be done for us, or buy all in packages for our holidays. We are even corrupted into believing supermarkets are the only place to shop. Our sense of doing things for ourselves is disappearing.
