The mentor is one of the fundamental pieces to achieve growth. Much of what is achieved is due to the type of mentor you have had. It usually works as shamans, tutors, parents, spiritual guides who help you get better along the way. In my professional life I have had many mentors and in my intimate life I have had the best of them all: my dad. As for cinema, I have a beautiful memory of Kesuke Miyagi in the Karate Kid movies.
We all remember this dear old man, who turns an insecure young man into a real fighter thanks to his techniques. Likewise, I remember that the best of all is Yoda, the most respected of the Jedi masters. I think many of us, according to our professions, in my case I'm a teacher, we're mentors and we're helping people every day get what they want and do the basics of what they want to be in their lives. As always, nice and interesting post, @honeydue. Thank you for sharing.
