You Are a Mentor

"The attitude of openness is the bedrock of mentoring." ~John Wooden

Who is your mentor?= That is our choice.
Who are you a mentor to?= That is not our choice. Others choose us. If you are a parent, a teacher, a coach, anyone in a position that people look up to; YOU ARE A MENTOR, a motivational speaker, an inspiration.

One of John Wooden's mentors was not even alive when he was born. He was Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had an interesting way of doing things. When he was asked to destroy his enemies, many of his supporters became irate because instead, Abe would befriend them.

"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?" ~Abraham Lincoln

Quote of the month: "To accomplish your dreams we must go to extremes."
