\"mirror.jpg\"A Mentor is one who holds up a Mirror for Reflection. What is reflected is the life of the prot\u00e9g\u00e9, not the brilliance of the mentor. There is no greater mistake than to mold others into one’s own image. The mentor’s job is not to shape, but to facilitate the discovery process. Wisdom is not imposed, it is portrayed. Character is not taught, it is provoked and inspired. He doesn’t teach a person skills, but shows a person a life. It’s a misconception that a mentor’s task is to do something for another person by teaching, correcting, or otherwise giving something the mentor possesses, something the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 lacks. That’s Coaching. Mentoring is more “how can I help you” rather than “what should I teach you.” Its not something the mentor does, but helping the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 to do something. Successful mentoring is not determined by what a mentor does, but by the responsive of the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 to the image he sees as the mentor holds the prot\u00e9g\u00e9’s life up for personal reflection. Responsibility and initiative for growth lies in the reponsiveness of the prot\u00e9g\u00e9, not the mentor’s.<\/p>\n
