mentor and mentorship
Mentor
A mentor is someone who you look up to, who have been in the shoes you are or about to be. It might be spiritual or professional.
A mentor is someone who has walked the path you are hoping to walk someday. So you look up to him or her for guidance to avoid the mistakes he or she made.
From the above points,
Is it necessary to have a MENTOR?
In my own perspective
.... it is a necessity but only if you really can find the right type because mentors themselves have their own "mentor". You may not be realising your potential to the maximum all because you have no one you're looking up to.
Someone said : I struggled with growth not until I choose a mentor in my field of writing, I'm a living testimony of it. Everyone needs a mentor. Except you're the Ancient of Days, You need a mentor.
You may be wondering: "how can I afford to have great and influential people like Bill Gate, Sam Adeyemi, Adenuga, Billy Graham etc as my mentor since i can't gain their presence as mentoring is believed to involve the presence of the mentor?" I tell you,
You can have a mentor you've never seen or you will never see.
So how do you get mentored by someone you'll never see... Or someone you don't have access to?
Get their books and materials
Listen to their messages
