Mentors change lives, but students change mentors' lives more. ~ Richie Norton
Mentors quotes by Richie Norton
At Camfed, we have focused on transforming the vicious cycle of poverty in many rural African communities into a cycle of opportunity. Alumnae of Camfed's programs go on to become role models and mentors for future generations of young students. We call this the 'virtuous circle,' and we know this is a model that works. ~ Ann Cotton
Mentors quotes by Ann Cotton
Someone has said that no theology is worth believing that cannot be preached standing in front of the gates of Auschwitz. I, for one, could not stand at those gates and preach a version of God's sovereignty that makes the extermination of six million Jews, including many children, a part of the will and plan of God such that God foreordained and rendered it certain.18 I want young Calvinists (and others) to know and at least come to terms with the inevitable and unavoidable consequences of what this radical form of Reformed theology teaches. And I want to give their friends and relatives and Spiritual mentors ammunition to use in undermining their sometimes overconfidence in the solidity of their belief system. ~ Roger E. Olson
Mentors quotes by Roger E. Olson
Moreover, the mythology may be mucking things up even while your partnership is alive and thriving. It is not wise to relegate all the other important kinds of people - close friends, valued colleagues, mentors, and kin - to the dustbin of human relationships. Ironically, it is also unfair to the one relationship partner who is mythologized. No mere mortal should be expected to fulfill every need, wish, whim, and dream of another human. ~ Bella DePaulo
Mentors quotes by Bella DePaulo
I used to hold you as my everything,
And so I built my castles in your lands,
But you proved to me your inadequacies,
With this, how will my castles stand? ~ Terrence Alonzo Craft
Mentors quotes by Terrence Alonzo Craft
Often, your mentors are already in your life; you just haven't yet found a way to learn from them. ~ Eric Greitens
Mentors quotes by Eric Greitens
You've got to be around people who encourage you, advice you and want to see you go even higher and higher than they themselves have attained! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Mentors quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
How does someone who has never been a father become one? How do any of us progress beyond our temporary limits? The potential person we can become hums in an invisible grid within and without us. A genius may actuate by intuition but all of us need heroes, role models, and mentors, that we may see what is possible, living mandalas to lock onto as we inhale and expand into new states. ~ Russell Brand
Mentors quotes by Russell Brand
Young people will always need mentors to guide and support them. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Neither heredity nor environment determine character. But whether we give in to or overcome the negative messages we are exposed to as we wend our way through life is often determined by whether our parents, teachers, mentors and friends exposed us to good examples and morally inspiring ideas. ~ Michael Josephson
Mentors quotes by Michael Josephson
We've never performed the song live outside of recording it in the studio. That was a dream come true because Whitney, she's an icon and she's been one of my main mentors in this business. ~ Deborah Cox
Mentors quotes by Deborah Cox
I prefer sidekick. I tried once for the title of Padawan, but Bubba wigged out saying that mentors are always killed off in books and movies and he'd be damned if he was going to die once he taught me everything I needed to know about killing zombies. (Mark)
Then why let you be his sidekick? Isn't that the same thing? (Nick)
Uh, no. In the movies, the sidekicks are the ones who die. (Mark) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Mentors quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
We are not to be judges but mentors for people. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Mentors quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Mentors should be patient, passionate and should not rest until they see a great development on their mentees. ~ Euginia Herlihy
Mentors quotes by Euginia Herlihy
I had some great mentors as I was coming up and starting to sing so early - I've been singing since I was four. ~ Gladys Knight
Mentors quotes by Gladys Knight
It's my turn next, and I realize then that I never turned in the name of my escort--because I hadn't planned on being here. I glance around wildly for Ryder, but he's nowhere to be seen, swallowed up by the sea of people in cocktail dresses and suits.
Crap. I thought he realized that escorting me on court was part of the deal, once I'd agreed to go. I guess he'd figured it'd be easier on me, what with the whole Patrick thing, if I was alone onstage. But I don't want to be alone. I want Ryder with me. By my side, supporting me.
Always.
I finally spot him in the crowd--it's not too hard, since he's a head taller than pretty much everyone else--and our eyes meet. My stomach drops to my feet--you know, that feeling you get on a roller coaster right after you crest that first hill and start plummeting toward the ground.
Oh my God, this can't be happening. I've fallen in love with Ryder Marsden, the boy I'm supposed to hate. And it has nothing to do with his confession, his declaration that he loves me. Sure, it might have forced me to examine my feelings faster than I would have on my own, but it was there all along, taking root, growing, blossoming.
Heck, it's a full-blown garden at this point.
"Our senior maid is Miss Jemma Cafferty!" comes the principal's voice. "Jemma is a varsity cheerleader, a member of the Wheelettes social sorority, the French Honor Club, the National Honor Society, and the Peer Mentors. She's escorted tonight by…ahem, sorry. ~ Kristi Cook
Mentors quotes by Kristi Cook
I've heard one of my SEAL mentors say that there are rules about bitching. He said everyone has the right to bitch about a mission or job for five minutes. After those five minutes, you shut the fuck up and get to work. ~ Mark Owen
Mentors quotes by Mark Owen
Coaches are very important to players. They're people that are mentors, people that are advising them, people that should be their friends and somebody you can rely on on the tour. ~ Novak Djokovic
Mentors quotes by Novak Djokovic
I'm glad I went through the training because I've met such great mentors and lifelong friends/collaborators along the way. Also, any training (acting, movement, dance, piano, singing, etc) allowed me to hone my skills and find an inner space of self-generating creativity. ~ Jade Hassoune
Mentors quotes by Jade Hassoune
True Mentors, don't make their mentees a clone of themselves ~ Bernard Kelvin Clive
Mentors quotes by Bernard Kelvin Clive
As Elijah's mantle fell on Elisha and as other prophetic disciples sought to emulate their mentors, so the ascending Jesus empowered his church with the Spirit to carry on his mission to the ends of the earth (1:9–11). ~ Craig S. Keener
Mentors quotes by Craig S. Keener
To obfuscate the reconstruction of the effect - when a magician is fooled by another magician doing magic. In my career that's not been the major passion, but it's been the passion of a number of my mentors. The crowning achievement for them would be to create magic good enough to fool other magicians. ~ Ricky Jay
Mentors quotes by Ricky Jay
I would suggest that just as women who make it in the world of business need male business mentors, perhaps men who make it in the world of emotions will need female emotional mentors. ~ Warren Farrell
Mentors quotes by Warren Farrell
Once you've identified people who can be both mentors and sponsors, you need to make contact. Don't hesitate to introduce yourself to a potential ally at an event or in the elevator and say you admire her work. If the person is spearheading a committee or drive, volunteer to be on it. You can also request an informational interview. You could say something such as I've heard so much about your work [or latest venture] and would love to know more about it. ~ Kate White
Mentors quotes by Kate White
It is the mentor's responsibility to create a safe and trusting space that enables a mentee to stretch and step outside their comfort zone, take risks, and show up authentically. ~ Lisa Fain
Mentors quotes by Lisa Fain
One of my mentors early on was Eli Harari, the founder of SanDisk, who happened to be a friend of my dad's. ~ Nick Woodman
Mentors quotes by Nick Woodman
I'm proud of my mentors. Ray Charles is the strongest influence on me as a singer. ~ Michael Bolton
Mentors quotes by Michael Bolton
You treat characters like people you meet in life-friends or mentors. ~ Wes Bentley
Mentors quotes by Wes Bentley
Trusted counselors, mentors and guides make an indelible mark on the lives they touch, and they provide the two ingredients to success in life
caring and sharing
that cannot be learned or purchased. ~ David Cottrell
Mentors quotes by David Cottrell
I wanted to invent some kind of American dance that was danced to the music that I grew up on: Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart and Irving Berlin. So I evolved a style that certainly didn't catch on right away - but I had some good mentors in New York who encouraged me. ~ Gene Kelly
Mentors quotes by Gene Kelly
Finally and most important of all, authenticity means that you must do what you do the way you do it and allow everyone else the same courtesy. There was a time I wanted to be like every famous writer that ever lived. I tried to copy styles, reframe information, use similar artwork. I almost drove myself crazy! Now I just do what I do. I have mentors. There are people whose work I admire, but I write the way I write. I eat the way I eat. I dress the way I dress. I can't believe that God made us each so unique only to have us do everything the same way. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Mentors quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
It's good to have female or minority role models. But the important thing is to have mentors who care about you, and they come in all colors. ~ Condoleezza Rice
Mentors quotes by Condoleezza Rice
My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher. ~ Courtney Love
Mentors quotes by Courtney Love
A woman's life may die away in the fore of self-hatred for complexes can bite hard and, at least for a time, successfully frighten her away from coming too near the work or life that matters to her ... Many years are spent not going, not moving, not learning, not finding out, not obtaining, not taking on, not becoming. The vision a woman has for her own life can also be decimated at someone else's jealousy or someone's plain out destructiveness towards her family, mentors, teachers, and friends are not supposed to be destructive if and when they feel envy, but some decidedly are, in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. No woman can afford to let her creative life hang by a thread while she serves an antagonistic love relationship , parent, teacher or friend. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Mentors quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults that we would like. It's the only way we grow. ~ George Lucas
Mentors quotes by George Lucas
This middle age thing is a little weird. Some friends and mentors are gone, and there's a very forward-looking new generation coming up behind me. So it's very much finding my own place. ~ Yo-Yo Ma
Mentors quotes by Yo-Yo Ma
I think a lot of male artists should and probably are thinking in the same ways. The culture has moved in a more democratic, pluralistic direction. You now find a lot of people who are looking outside of the mainstream of the history of art for their mentors. Maybe not heroes, but mentors. ~ Laura Owens
Mentors quotes by Laura Owens
I have been lucky enough to work with the world's best designers and top stylists - who have been my mentors. ~ Alessandra Ambrosio
Mentors quotes by Alessandra Ambrosio
You are only as powerful as your mentors. ~ Robert G. Allen
Mentors quotes by Robert G. Allen
And I'd watch George C. Scott from backstage. He was one of my mentors. ~ Jeffrey Tambor
Mentors quotes by Jeffrey Tambor
There are no self made heroes or leaders. No matter how rugged or self assured, everyone requires a cast of players - friends, mentors, lovers, critics, villains and supporters - who call, invite, seduce, goad and encourage them to finally step into their true power.
We are all heroes and leaders in some way, and we all need each other. ~ Jacob Nordby
Mentors quotes by Jacob Nordby
a mentoring program that pairs new managers with experienced ones. A key facet of this program is that mentors and mentees work together for an extended period of time - eight months. They meet about all aspects of leadership, from career development and confidence building to managing personnel challenges and building healthy team environments. ~ Ed Catmull
Mentors quotes by Ed Catmull
The film 'Documented,' a project of the nonprofit and nonpartisan Define American campaign, is about my families: the family I was blessed to be born into, and the family of friends, mentors and allies that I found when I moved to the United States at 12, a Filipino kid trying to make sense of my new home in America. ~ Jose Antonio Vargas
Mentors quotes by Jose Antonio Vargas
Dr. Cox mentors the rookie doctors with a spoonful of dirt and then a cup of sugar. I see him as an archetypal descendent of two of my favorite curmudgeonly characters: Lou Grant and Louie De Palma. ~ John C. McGinley
Mentors quotes by John C. McGinley
Every great soul had great mentors. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Your Mentors in life are important, so choose them wisely ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Mentors quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
Charity work. Any smart, ethical business owner is going to be involved with something that gives back, whether it is at the community level, in the fight against a specific disease, or in a broad campaign to address another social issue. If you are willing to take the time to roll up your sleeves - first, to find out what groups your targeted mentor works with, and second, to start giving your money, time, or resources to that same group - you can find inroads to business mentors very quickly, and all while pursuing a worthy cause. ~ Ryan Blair
Mentors quotes by Ryan Blair
Remember, you are the true guru of yourself. You are therefore always with Guru - your soul. However, at various stages you meet mentors. Mentors are like lighthouse who supports navigation in a journey called life. But, it is the innocence, vision, and purity of yourself (Guru within) determines the degree of success you can achieve. ~ Vishwas Chavan
Mentors quotes by Vishwas Chavan
I've had a life that has taken many interesting paths. I've learned a lot from mentors who were instrumental in shaping me, and I want to share what I've learned. ~ Herbie Hancock
Mentors quotes by Herbie Hancock
Managing up requires the mentee to take responsibility for his or her part in the collaborative alliance and to be the leader of the relationship by guiding and facilitating the mentor's efforts to create a satisfying and productive relationship for both parties ~ Anonymous
Mentors quotes by Anonymous
The second role of a mentor is encouragement. Mentors lead us to believe that we can achieve something that seemed improbable or impossible to us before we met them. They don't allow us to succumb to self-doubt for too long, or the notion that our dreams are too large for us. They stand by to remind us of the skills we already possess and what we can achieve if we continue to work hard. ~ Ken Robinson
Mentors quotes by Ken Robinson
I have never had a secret hero in my mind but I have kept a lot of mentors in my mind that are heroes. Gandhi, Jesus, Moses, Martin Luther King they were all secret heroes in my mind because they stood for what they wanted, what they believed in. ~ John Assaraf
Mentors quotes by John Assaraf
The words of his various writing instructors and professional mentors over the years came back to him at times like these, and he found a new understanding in their advice: Writing is rewriting. The rough draft is just that. You can't polish what you haven't written.

Things that made for a normal life - like a daily routine that followed the sun - took a back seat to times like these, and he exulted in that change because it served as proof that his writing was indeed the most important thing in his life. It wasn't a conscious choice on his part, like deciding to repaint the bathroom or go buy the groceries, but an overarching reallocation of his existence that was as undeniable as breathing. Day turned into night, breakfast turned into dinner, and the laptop or the writing tablet beckoned even when he was asleep.

He would often awake with a new idea - as if he'd merely been on a break and not unconscious - and he would see the empty seat before the desk not as his station in some pointless assembly line, but as the pilot's seat in a ship that could go anywhere. ~ Vincent H. O'Neil
Mentors quotes by Vincent H. O'Neil
In my 25 years as a technology entrepreneur I was lucky to have three extraordinary mentors, each brilliant in his own field: Ben Wegbreit who taught me how to think, Gordon Bell who taught me what to think about, and Allen Michels who showed me how to turn thinking into direct and immediate action. ~ Steve Blank
Mentors quotes by Steve Blank
find mentors who have already successfully made the crossing before. ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki
Mentors quotes by Robert T. Kiyosaki
From you I can learn things that nobody knows. ~ Orson Scott Card
Mentors quotes by Orson Scott Card
I had many mentors, and they didn't know it. ~ Maggie Wilderotter
Mentors quotes by Maggie Wilderotter
This book is, in a way, a scrapbook of my writing life. From shopping the cathedral flea market in Barcelona with David Sedaris to having drinks at Cognac with Nora Ephron just months before she died. To the years of sporadic correspondence I had with Thom Jones and Ira Levin. I've stalked my share of mentors, asking for advice.
Therefore, if you came back another day and asked me to teach you, I'd tell you that becoming an author involves more than talent and skill. I've known fantastic writers who never finished a project. And writers who launched incredible ideas, then never fully executed them. And I've seen writers who sold a single book and became so disillusioned by the process that they never wrote another. I'd paraphrase the writer Joy Williams, who says that writers must be smart enough to hatch a brilliant idea - but dull enough to research it, keyboard it, edit and re-edit it, market the manuscript, revise it, revise it, re-revise it, review the copy edit, proofread the typeset galleys, slog through the interviews and write the essays to promote it, and finally to show up in a dozen cities and autograph copies for thousands or tens of thousands of people…
And then I'd tell you, "Now get off my porch."
But if you came back to me a third time, I'd say, "Kid…" I'd say, "Don't say I didn't warn you. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Mentors quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
The culture in which you parent, mentor, or educate boys exhorts them to be individualistic and group-oriented at once, but does not give them a tribal structure in which to accomplish both in balance. It used to be that the tribe formed a boy's character while the peer group existed primarily to test and befriend that character. Nowadays, boys' characters are often formed in the peer group. Mentors and intimate role models rarely exist to show the growing boy in any long-term and consistent way how both to serve a group and flourish as an independent self. ~ Michael Gurian
Mentors quotes by Michael Gurian
I have, I think, eight mentors. It's crazy, but I need them. They are all really important to me. They keep me grounded and advise me. ~ Jamie Bell
Mentors quotes by Jamie Bell
I'M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it's a beautiful thing. ~ Benjamin Watson
Mentors quotes by Benjamin Watson
...My advice to young people might be as follows:

1. Don't get down when your life takes a bad turn. Out of adversity comes challenge and often success.
2. Don't blame others for your setbacks.
3. When things go well, always give credit to others.
4. Don't talk all the time. Listen to your friends and mentors and learn from them.
5. Don't brag about yourself. Let others point out your virtues, your strong points.
6. Give someone else a hand. When a friend is hurting, show that friend you care.
7. Nobody likes an overbearing big shot.
8. As you succeed, be kind to people. Thank those who help you along the way.
9. Don't be afraid to shed a tear when your heart is broken because a friend is hurting.
10. Say your prayers!! ~ George H.W. Bush
Mentors quotes by George H.W. Bush
Good mentors are essential for a successful career. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
...when we "lose our mind" and "come to our senses" in the fullest possible way, the chattering, texting, e-mailing, twittering mind will eventually quiet down and almost silence itself. This is a sacred and connected silence...It's like a deep, still pond reflecting the stars of the night sky. I believe this is the baseline for human consciousness, and I'm convinced that the birds are the best mentors in the natural world for bringing us to it. ~ Jon Young
Mentors quotes by Jon Young
It was very challenging to mentor the mentors, and yes, you do see more sides of my personality. ~ Tim Gunn
Mentors quotes by Tim Gunn
May you have mentors to support your life's journey. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Great souls are great inspirers. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Many pastors have been reduced to secular "mentors" and "coaches" in exchange for authentic disciplers of men. ~ John Paul Warren
Mentors quotes by John Paul Warren
Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature – all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you'll find out how big a prize you've won. ~ Twyla Tharp
Mentors quotes by Twyla Tharp
My mentors grow old and foolish. I am afraid. ~ Mason Cooley
Mentors quotes by Mason Cooley
The mentors in my life, inspired me to fulfill my highest potential. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I never had a strategy about my life. I didn't have enough information to have a strategy. I'm the first person in my family to go to college. I had no family mentors. ~ Alan Dershowitz
Mentors quotes by Alan Dershowitz
I believe God has a path for me. He's always had a path for me, and I've always been in the right place at the right time - not because of my efforts, but because of my preparation and because of the guides that I have, the mentors that I have, the spiritual walkers that I've had all my life. ~ Judith Jamison
Mentors quotes by Judith Jamison
You try to get yourself into a situation where you only have to answer to yourself, where you can ask advice of people and work with your peers and mentors and things to try to do the best job that you can possibly do. ~ George Lucas
Mentors quotes by George Lucas
I am highly indebted to all my mentors.
Every one need a mentor for guidance and support. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
At Wal-Mart, a co-worker once advised me that, although I had a lot to learn, it was also important not to "know too much," or at least never to reveal one's full abilities to management, because "the more they think you can do, the more they'll use you and abuse you." My mentors in these matters were not lazy; they just understood that there are few or no rewards for heroic performance. The trick lies in figuring out how to budget your energy so there'll be some left over for the next day. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Mentors quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
The belief seems to be spreading that intellectuals are no wiser as mentors, and no worthier as exemplars, than the witch doctors or priests of old. I share that skepticism. A dozen people picked at random on the street are at heart as likely to offer sensible views on moral and political matters as a cross-section of the intelligentsia. But I would go further. One of the principal lessons of our tragic century, which has seen so many millions of innocent lives sacrificed to improve the lot of humanity, is - beware intellectuals.3 ~ Os Guinness
Mentors quotes by Os Guinness
Mat, on the other hand, seemed to have unlimited faith in me. Maybe he'd lend me some if I asked nicely. ~ Tracy Lane
Mentors quotes by Tracy Lane
Thank you, Jesus, for what you've done, are doing, and will continue to do for a good ole boy from North Louisiana. Thank you, God, for the best parents a man could ever hope for.
My incredible brothers, thanks for always having my back and showing me how men of God are supposed to live. My terrific sisters-in-law, thanks for putting up with my bros and being good friends and mentors for Jess.
My "blood brothers"--Fishbone, Nicky Tightpants, McG, G.G., ZDash, Maxi--and all the countless friends who've been there through the good, the bad, and the grace of God.
--Jep ~ Jep Robertson
Mentors quotes by Jep Robertson
Mentors and apprentices are partners in an ancient human dance, and one of teaching's great rewards is the daily chance it gives us to get back on the dance floor. It is the dance of the spiraling generations, in which the old empower the young with their experience and the young empower the old with new life, reweaving the fabric of the human community as they touch and turn. ~ Parker J. Palmer
Mentors quotes by Parker J. Palmer
When I ask entrepreneurs their major problems, many just quickly say; LACK OF FINANCIAL CAPITAL. Yes, this is a problem for some but not a problem for many who think it is a problem.

What most ENTREPRENEURS need are business MENTORS, COACHES AND COUNSELORS. ~ Marilyn Oma Anona
Mentors quotes by Marilyn Oma Anona
I've had mentors who were kind of the troubadour singer-songwriters, like Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and that's just what I've always liked - people who would talk real honestly about their lives and their circumstance. ~ Jewel
Mentors quotes by Jewel
Without continuous encouragement, we may give up. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Every great soul had a great mentor. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Clemency, empathy, and leniency are the very chains that set us free. Fraternity and amity are our goals, our neighbors are our judges. We are all slaves and kings. The cause of one is the cause of all, and the mistake of one is the mistake of all. We see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and do no evil as it's not whether what we receive is evil, it's what we deliver. Our minds are bound to the truism of life, but our actions are bound to the law. We are free to embrace different dogmas. But we are obliged to the law in our actions. We build no temples, no sects. There are no monks or holy mentors. For creed is not vicious, those who call to the creed are loathsome, they use the simplicity of poor minds and the power they claim they have from the Eternal Force to maim the true faith and replace the holy commands with superstitions. I chose the rain as my Holy Force and I beg you not to follow me nor believe in my faith. You do not know the language of water, and you can't have faith in what you don't understand. ~ Mohamed Amer
Mentors quotes by Mohamed Amer
The great mentor is master builder of great students. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Mentors quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
You see, King, we have a legend - I used to believe that it was all fairy-tale rubbish and empty smoke. It is a legend about how such things as war and death and despair were common in our country at one time. These terrible words, which we have long since stopped using in our language, can be read in collections of our old tales, and they sound awful to us and even a little ridiculous. Today I've learned that these tales are all true ... But now tell me, don't you have in your soul a sort of intimation that you're not doing the right thing? Don't you have a yearning for bright, serene gods, for sensible and cheerful leaders and mentors? Don't you ever dream in your sleep about another, more beautiful life where nobody is envious of others, where reason and order prevails, where people treat other people only with cheerfulness and considerations? ~ Hermann Hesse
Mentors quotes by Hermann Hesse
When one person mentors, two lives are changed. ~ Kevin Sessums
Mentors quotes by Kevin Sessums
Successful people rely heavily on their mentors. Ordinary people don't. It's that simple. ~ Robert G. Allen
Mentors quotes by Robert G. Allen
He looks out the window at the falling snow, then turns and takes his wife in his arms, feeling grateful to be here even as he wonders what he is going to do with his life in strictly practical terms. For years he had trained himself to do one thing, and he did it well, but he doesn't know whether he wants to keep doing it for the rest of his life, for that matter, whether anyone will let him. He is still worrying when they go to bed.

Feeling his wife's head nesting in the pillow below his shoulder, he is almost certain that they will find ways to manage. They've been learning to get by with less, and they'll keep learning. It seems to him as if they're taking a course in loss lately. And as he feels himself falling asleep he has an insight he believes is important, which he hopes he will remember in the morning, although it is one of those thoughts that seldom survive translation to the language of daylight hours: knowing that whatever plenty befalls them together or separately in the future, they will become more and more intimate with loss as the years accumulate, friends dying or slipping away undramatically into the crowded past, memory itself finally flickering and growing treacherous toward the end; knowing that even the children who may be in their future will eventually school them in the pain of growth and separation, as their own parents and mentors die off and leave them alone in the world, shivering at the dark threshold. ~ Jay McInerney
Mentors quotes by Jay McInerney
I tell young people that people aren't just going to flock to you as your mentors. You have to seek them out. It could be your next-door neighbor; it could be somebody upstairs from you, somebody down the block from you. An aunt or an uncle. Some relative. A parent. ~ Judith Jamison
Mentors quotes by Judith Jamison
I've got a reason for running. I talk about a larger goal, which is to call upon the best of America. It's part of the renewal. It's reform and renewal. Part of the renewal is a set of high standards and to remind people that the greatness of America really does depend on neighbors helping neighbors and children finding mentors. I worry. I'm very worried about, you know, the kid who just wonders whether America is meant for him. I really worry about that. ~ George W. Bush
Mentors quotes by George W. Bush
One aspect of my life and career that has helped me be successful is having mentors - having women show me the way. We have to support other women. ~ Wendy Greuel
Mentors quotes by Wendy Greuel
The Brain Size of People who see Big Dreams, is same as of Yours. ~ Vineet Raj Kapoor
Mentors quotes by Vineet Raj Kapoor
One of the first things we learn from our teachers is discernment: the ability to tell truth from fiction, to know when we have lost our center and how to find it again. Discernment is also one of the last things we learn, when we feel our paths diverge and we must separate from our mentors in order to stay true to ourselves. ~ Anne Hill
Mentors quotes by Anne Hill
I've never had help from anyone, ever. I've never had this great director who saw themselves in me, because I'm a French woman in Hollywood. Who could identify with me as a successful director in Hollywood? Nobody. And the few people who could have been mentors, instead they just stole my ideas. ~ Julie Delpy
Mentors quotes by Julie Delpy
Everyone of us has a new name that winks at us daily because there are rivers of life in our bellies, we just need our mentors to help us to give birth to those new names. ~ Euginia Herlihy
Mentors quotes by Euginia Herlihy
I think time is a constraint to destroy and then reinvent. If you give me a constraint, I'll accept it. But I always try to move it around, or to readapt it. Ecco! If you lock me in a room, well I'll go out through the window! I always remember Achille Castiglioni, one of my mentors, and he always said that in industrial design you have the idea, the fantasy, the concepts - that's the marmalade! - but the constraint of the brief is the bread. You need both in order to find structure for your ideas. ~ Patricia Urquiola
Mentors quotes by Patricia Urquiola
How to Survive Racism in an Organization that Claims to be Antiracist:

10. Ask why they want you. Get as much clarity as possible on what the organization has read about you, what they understand about you, what they assume are your gifts and strengths. What does the organization hope you will bring to the table? Do those answers align with your reasons for wanting to be at the table?

9. Define your terms. You and the organization may have different definitions of words like "justice", "diveristy", or "antiracism".
