Mentors
She is a lady who is sweet and soft-spoken but also firm and focused. A great charismatic leader. She is my mentor. We met a year ago and we clicked it off right away.
Have you ever met someone and felt very comfortable at the word GO whilst, at times someone with the sweetest smile gives you a creepy crawly feelings, which shouts ‘back off’. That is our six sense ‘on guard’. Trust that feeling.
Now back to my mentor. We met today because I needed her opinion and consultation regarding a tricky situation with a group I am working with. The result – after two hours of consultation, I felt very confident and enlighten on how to tackle these group of people. Amin.
Our parents is our very first mentor. Sometimes with their best interest at heart (as they know how), they tend to overstep a bit. Trust me, all things happen for a reason. Your parents graduated with QBE (not the minyak sapi brand) but qualified by experience
If you do not have a mentor. I suggest you go and get one. It is important that you select your mentors very carefully. Characteristics to lookout for in a mentor; God-fearing, just, upright, honest, caring, loveable, diligent with farsight and foresight (mmm, what’s the difference?). Life is full of choices to be made. Choose your mentors very carefully, and who said they need to be a ‘real live person whom you can touch and talk to.’
There are many mentors out there whom you can pick. Oprah Winfrey used to be mine not until she started questioning God’s existence. Greatest mentor of all time is Prophet Muhammad pbuh and his beloved Saiyidatina Aisha ra. I have in my collections many books written by Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Suze Orman, Malcolm Gladwell, Bob Procter, Robert Kiyosaki etc. I pick and choose the lessons to learn from these great people, but at the end of the day, I am what I am because I choose what I want to be.
Before you go on a ‘getting spree’. Start with giving first. Start with your family. It belief it is for that reason, that the Creator has sent me a super duper Mentor.
Alhamdullilah
