In one of my wildlife series, i discovered the amazing life of elephant families;firstly, they move in groups while secondly, the smaller one is always closer to the mother elephant. Thirdly, an elephant uses it trunk like a hand to break off branches from trees and shrubs.
Likewise female African elephants use their trunk to protect their babies from predators.
Remember the writer of the proverb directed us to learn from the ants. Now is the time to learn from the elephant. When the elephants break off branch from trees and play team defence, the baby elephant watch and stay back. WHY?
1. To learn, though they possess strength, gift and power to perform mighty actions like that of the older one.
2. Time for these actions to manifest in them require development which is the basis of this writings
what does it mean to be mentor?
It mean empowering, coaching, training, leading, supporting the strength in you. The only person that can do that is a mentor; an experienced one who'll be an adviser, a counselor, teacher, guide, tutor, guru and supporter.
For us to attain the success we dream of as a youth, one of the key factors we need is a right mentor. It could be your parent, teacher and any one older than you in the field of your course.
Children at the creche start their development with the help of their teacher also Samuel in the bible learn how to prepare and answer God speak through Prophet Eli.
The best way to really train people is with an experience mentor and on a specific job.
What are the merits of mentoring?
- It enhances self-esteem
- it'll increase our knowledge & wisdom
- It reduce frustration & confusion.
- save time & money
- increase the level of success & productivity.
