What a Mentor can do

Recent advertisement " What a Mentor can Do" of ET Idea has represented the nearest picture of what a mentor can do . a falcon is shown flying ahead and guding a cock in the open sky , well this is what a mentor can do a cock does have wings and willingness to fly but its not capable of taking long flights similarly there are many talented mind around who may have ideas and commitment to work on those ideas but they may not know the exact path and to approach things . This is where a mentor can do wonders by helping you streamline and focus your thoughts and giving you right inputs to not only start off but also go long way in the journey.

We have been seing this relationship since ages and its transformation can be observed from mythological to hitorical era.I would say the best ever mentor has to be Lord Krishna who directed Arjuna and helped him choose the right path. In history also we would find many such examples where mentorship has helped in developing immortal legends out of ordinary man. Ramkrishna transformed a curious child narendra into a monk who could create a new perception about India and its spritual philosophy in the world.
So what all a mentee expects from her mentor

1) Inspiration : The very basic need of doing something , one has to be inspired and charged up. The inspiration generated from other source is much more impact full than the one generated from within. Mentor must be able to light up inspiration in the mentee.

2) Deep expertise in the area : IT will be very rare to have someone mentor without being good expertise in the area where mentee is working. Mentor is supposed to know all and resolve the doubts of mentee with entire confidence.

3) Ability to explain with simplicity: Mentor should be able to make things simple for mentee in terms of the understanding , he is like a watchmaker who can diassociate all the parts of the watch and explain each and every one to his mentee.
