Importance Of  Mentors

         Behind every successful person, there is one elementary truth, somewhere, some way, some one cared about their growth and development. They are called Mentors.
       Anyone who can change your perspective towards any issues of the better is a mentor. A mentor is some one who educates , instructs and inspires another person through their past experiences. An excellent mentoring can teach how to build self confidence and helps you become a self-made person who is able to face anything and everything in life. For a person to become successful in life, there is some kind of guidance required which can be efficiently provided by a mentor. A mentor not only guides you but also motivates you, strengthens your ideas and moulds you into a better you. Your actions and ideologies serve as a long time vision to future generations as well. Listening to your mentor's life experiences, achievements, hurdles they have overcome motivates you more and a sense of courage starts growing within you.
          Mentor is the one who uplifts your ability and promotes your positive attitude. They are concerned about your interests, likes and dislikes and never makes you do things which are of not your interests. A mentor cultivates a quality of passion in you which makes you achieve. Mentees always look up to their mentors and treat them as their role model. They follow the path which their mentors have moved in.
           Not all children get to experience a quality parenting. That's the reason many children today have got into substance abuse, smoking, some are homeless and alcoholic and more. Children deal with more stress than they did earlier. Also they have stress from their peers. Sometimes they feel unaccepted and rejected by friends. If they all get the privilege of being mentored then definitely it will mark an impact on all of their lives in a positive manner which helps in the betterment of their lives.
            A mentor can be anyone, a friend, a teacher, sibling, father or a mother who fills you up with positive thoughts, energizes you whenever your motivation level comes down. Mentees can become successful if they follow their mentor's teachings and show equal response to their ideas. Your mentors are the ones who listen to every word of yours and every problem of yours. They are always there to guide you, give solutions to your problems and stay with you providing opportunities for you to learn as well as to prove yourself.
            Mentors comfort their mentees, they come down to their mentee's psychological level to make them understand about things. They have a special ability to cultivate a sense of character which makes the young persons turn out to become great personalities. Mentor can put you back on track when you get off track due to distractions.
            Mentors understand their mentee's fears, and other such inferiorities which are stopping him/her to show case their talents. Mentors give time to their mentee and insist on being positive, they help in cultivating an optimistic attitude in the minds of the mentees which makes them more confident. Some times, even after preparing ourselves we may not be able to make it. In such situations mentors regenerate a sense of hope and make us believe in ourselves.
            It is sad that not all colleges know the importance of mentoring and not every student or a young individual receives mentoring these days. It would be good if our country concentrates on this aspect too so that every young mind is mentored effectively. Less financial resources consuming ideas to provide mentors to all the students in their colleges is based on the strong alumni base. Alumni are the greatest human capital assets who can work upon this aspect precisely.
           I conclude saying that mentoring is a trusted relationship, a meaningful commitment and loyalty filled service. Every mentor strives for mutual benefits, honest guidance, listen and learn policy, build a working partnership. Mentoring is a very powerful tool which helps you develop a solid foundation for future planning to achieve ultimate life-goal, work on self improvisation and last but not the least, to betterment your own personality to become a successful individual who can serve as a role model to future generations.
           A mentor looks forward to watch the progress in the growth of his/her mentee in terms of success. So if you don't have a mentor, its time for you to find one.
