Do we really need a mentor?

With busyness entering the lives of each and every human being, it has become crucial to get in touch with someone who can help and assist two different lives. In case a mentor is around, we often feel like taking advice in any unruly and unthought-of situation. The growing competition has eaten most part of our valuable time as we began to concentrate more on proving ourselves in every possible aspect.

It is, but, obvious to ask whether we need a mentor. He is believed to be not only acting as a guide or motivator but working as a provider of everything- small or big. He is there to show the path which we need to follow. He gives us importance when we desperately need it. His words act as a confidence booster as we stand to face the millions in a jam-packed hall. He is with us when we meet the dignitaries. He is also present in the room as we sit to relax and have a cup of coffee after a hardcore session with the world.

Many are not born with golden spoon in hand. However, some achieve the best in life with hard work, perseverance and patience, especially, when the mentor is around to motivate in the adversities of life. He brings out the best in us by giving ample of chances that are rocky and thorny in nature. He might see us falling several times. He is least bothered when we get hurt, bruised or lost in mountains. His words are enough to pull through the worst in life.

Some people climb the stairs of destiny without a mentor. They have enough experience and expertise behind them as they move forward to grab the best chances in life. They are guided more out of their personal achievements inherited with time from forefathers. For them, the main mentor is their father or grandfather who shares their personal experiences during the period of growth and development. In many cases, they are ready to follow the same path, school, college or career which was actually followed by forefathers. They are least bothered when something goes wrong. They are more targeted towards achieving what was destined or achievable in any specific situation.

Apart from paternal lineage, the role of mentor has been fruitfully used by the ladies at home. Mothers or wives both have played a very crucial and optimistic role in enhancing the self-worth and self-confidence in life. Their role of mentor has in fact changed the destiny of many men in time immemorial. They have proved a determinant in bringing out the best in someone's life.

It is not necessary to have a mentor but keeping one helps in moving over the tides in a smooth and straight manner. His role brings out the hidden truth and secrets outside, giving full exposure to latent spirit and creativity. He happens to be the best and most desired role model who can give a Midas touch by turning a poor into rich.
