What it comes down to, I believe, is that mentoring often involves telling people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. When you are able to be humbly honest with someone about a situation with which you have personal experience-even if you risk angering or hurting that person-you are offering the most valuable gift of all.
John WoodenYou have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better.
