Mentors are a beautiful thing, always older, often ruthless, they can teach you things in a way and at a pace neither school nor self-learning can.

But here& #39;s the thing about mentors.

You don& #39;t choose them, they choose you.

If you& #39;re asking for a mentor, you don& #39;t deserve one.
"Please be my mentor!"

=

Instantly unworthy of being mentored.

Will not explain.
Inverse this.

An eye for brilliance, the ability to recognise what nobody else has recognised - to spot the unorthodox, the outlier, the divergent mind, and to do this when they& #39;re still insignificant and unimportant

These people are your future investments

The untapped worthy
