Just thought a bout this and wondered if we have mentors in Kenya whom p'ple look upto. En to narrow the gap in the ages of 50 and below.
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence

Are we really answering the question 'Who Is Your Mentor?'Or we are answering the question 'Who Do We Look Upto?'

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man

I think guys are mentioning their role models...not mentors as @OD was asking. For those who're off the track...

''A mentor is an individual, usually older, always more experienced, who helps and guides another individual’s development. This guidance is not done for personal gain. Mentorship is done mainly in the business world and in leadership,though sometimes in other aspects of life too''

My understanding of a mentor is someone who is more experienced in a field im interested in and gives me guidance on how to make similar achievements.There has to be interaction...I have no mentor

I was once advised to get different ones for different eareas of my life ie one for professional advice, marital issues, spiritual issues, etc. They are not well known names but they have greatly contributed to my current status.

I think for most of us, the much we have interacted with our 'mentors' is when we read about them in 'expose' or interviews in other media. Then catch up on their memoirs then we say, "I want to do what he says he did....." Then think they are our mentors.Shame on you

Why is no one, apart from those joking, not mentioning their parents as mentors? ABK.

My mentors, and role models, are baba yangu and mama yangu!Applause Applause Applause

@QD, btw for Akuku to manage such a huge harem of women and all those tots all at once means he had great interpersonal, management and leadership skills. Plus business skills coz he was able to run successful business in his area. If u look at it strictly froma point of view of management, heck he was an icon. I wonder why Churchill never brought him to his show....

I have none
Nobody in this world has any experience being me
Nobody has ever lived his life twice
I have only one chance at life just like everybody else
Given this fact I choose to do it my way, no.... not to do it right but to do it my way for then only will I have truly lived
I have not met one man who has the time to think about all the issues of his life and then spare some to think about the issues in mine enough to have a better idea than me of what I ought to do and how to go about it.
I choose to be captain of my ship and take responsibility for all my actions.
I choose not to be mentored.
I choose to trust that of all the people in the world, I am the best in taking care of my own interests.
I am capable of looking out for myself and should I be mistaken and lead myself into ruin then so be it, I will stand in my fire and burn like a man
But I will take the shot anyhow....
To live the best way I know how
On my own terms.........
I do not need a mentor.
