Have you ever been so involved in what you are doing that it seems like 10 minutes have passed, when it’s actually been hours? It is those times I often refer to as "lost time"; it's what you experience when you are truly productive and doing something that you love.
What do Oprah, Bill Gates and Plato Have in Common? They all had Mentors.
A mentor is important at any stage of the game. Whether you are just beginning your career path or you are well on your way, there is always someone one step ahead who can provide invaluable guidance and wisdom. Oprah has Maya Angelou, Bill Gates has Warren Buffett and Plato had Socrates. A mentor can act as an advisor, a teacher, a sounding board or even a counselor. Some people seek to be a mentor and others seek mentors themselves. At any rate, a mentor can have a significant positive impact on professional development, personal growth and corporate success.
