I Will Say That Even Though My Life Is Okay I STILL Wish I Had A Mentor (It Would Be Easier)

[SirReginald]

I'll say that even though I'm doing better than most of the people I went to HS with who didn't get a scholarship, I wish I had a mentor. Why? Because you are better focused and you could have someone in your life that's been there and done that professionally. Yes, I have my parents, but I mean a real mentor. Now, my criminal record is clean and I'm in no debt. However, at times I do feel lost. I do know what I want to go back to school for. Still, something is missing and sometimes I'm like (no troll)

Where's your dad?

In his room eating breakfast. However, that's not what I mean. Let's be frank, almost every successful person has had a mentor.

You could always mimic another successful persons methods, habits.


At the very least read up on things

A therapist/psychologist should be your mentor.

I just watched a video on the traits of successful people, and one of those traits listed as was having a mentor that was also successful to show them the ropes in order to cut the learning time in half. Surround yourself with successful people and you're bound to run in to someone that would be glad to take you under their wing. And you should also consider becoming someone's mentor to provide that influence that you weren't fortunate to have when you were growing up.

Well, I read all the time. You have to in this day and age. Both White and Black elders have given me advice. However, I told the story here before how this White guy helped his protege save money for a car and he spent it on drugs. Why do I bring this up? Because a person like that is a mentor and he told me that story himself. I could have used a mentor besides a guy that didn't want to better himself. Like I said, for some of us it's hard out here. Especially, if we are a minority (Afro-American).

I can be your mentor Joe.

Join clubs and organizations in your area I'm sure there's someone out there who can mentor you.

Or one of those government workers who watch the autistic kids would probably do wonders for joe

Doubt it.

He failed where all he had to do was move boxes.

Russel Simmons spoke about that in the book "Do You: 12 Laws Of Success" (a book that I say is a must read)


Law 6: Surround yourself with the right people

He speaks about "finding a teacher, someone who can share knowledge"


Law #6 Surround Yourself With the Right People.

I don't have a mental health issue.

Undiagnosed.
