''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''
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.
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!
