7 Life-Changing Ideas Shared By A Mentor

A Mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person.

These are some of the ideas from a mentor that shaped my life. Especially the 3rd one:-

1. When you are young, spend at least 6 months to one year living as poor as you can, owning as little as you possibly can, eating beans & rice inatiny room. That way any time you have to risk something in the future you won't be afraid of the worst case scenario.

2. Don't take it personally when someone turns you down. Assume they are like you: busy, occupied, distracted. Try again later. It's amazing how often a second try works.

3. To make mistakes is human. To own your mistakes is divine. Nothing elevates a person higher than quickly admitting and taking personal responsibility for the mistakes you make and then fixing them fairly.

4. Learn how to learn from those you disagree with, or even offend you. See if you can find the truth in what they believe.

5. A worthy goal for a year is to learn enough about a subject so that you can't believe how ignorant you were a year earlier.

6. In a world where everything is connected to everything, disconnection and anti-information and no-knowledge become expensive.

7. Gratitude will unlock all other virtues and is something you can get better at.

If you can relate with any of the ideas, I would love to know more about it.
