Life's journey is like a long road trip. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes very difficult. At some point, we need a good driver to overcome hurdles with their relevant skills and expertise. In life's journey, such a driver is called a Mentor, who helps us move from darkness to light.


What's a Mentor?

A mentor should be like a friendly teacher for life. They've been through a lot and want to share what they've learned. Mentors aren't just smart; they're also good listeners, and they appreciate you when you need that. They can help with all sorts of things, not just one topic. They don't criticize you but show you the right path to do something.


Why we need a Mentor:

  1. To see things from a different perspective, so we can view any problem in a positive way.

  2. They make us believe in ourselves and show strong confidence in our capabilities.

  3. They can give you or suggest new skills which may be useful in your daily life, either professional or personal.

  4. Offer industry insights: A mentor provides valuable insights into industry trends, helping us stay updated and competitive.

  5. Facilitate networking: They can introduce us to key contacts within our industry, expanding our professional network.

  6. Provide career advice: A mentor helps us set career goals, identify opportunities for advancement, and develop strategies to achieve them.

  7. Offer feedback: Constructive feedback from a mentor helps us improve our performance and avoid common pitfalls.


How to find a good Mentor:

  1. You don't need multiple mentors for different types of problems.

  2. Do not look for a higher degree, higher-ranked person for mentorship, as they may not give you desired time and specific guidance when you need it most.

  3. Ask your trusted people if they know someone who is very happy and successful both professionally and personally.

  4. Take part in some professional meetings and seminars to find such a person through networking.

  5. Look in online groups related to your interests.


What should you look for in a Mentor:

  1. Should have at least 2 contact details so that they can be reached in urgent situations.

  2. Someone you can easily talk to when needed.

  3. One who does not ask for a fee, so you can discuss anything without any time limit.

  4. Someone who understands your feelings, not just your questions.

  5. A person with whom you can share everything without hesitation.

  6. Someone with whom there's no language barrier, so you can explain and they can understand easily without wasting too much time.


How to build a good relationship with your Mentor:

  1. Tell them that you'll be contacting them for any help you may need. Try to stick to their suggestions.

  2. Try to inform them a little in advance so they can craft a perfect solution to your problem with all possible options.

  3. Be open and respectful towards them.

  4. Respect their time and energy, so follow what they say. Tell them if something is not working for you, but only after you've practiced what they told you to do.

  5. Always be thankful to them and recommend them to other people who may need their guidance and can overcome their own life problems like you have.


Important Points:

  1. Choose your Mentor very wisely.

  2. A Mentor is like a special friend who helps make life easier by clearing every confusion. They help us move forward, learn, and believe in ourselves. Finding a mentor and building a good relationship with them can make our life happy and successful.


Conclusion:

So, get set go and search for your Mentor. Tell them soon that you want them to be your Mentor in life and see the great change they bring to your journey.
