mentoring

Mentors change lives, but students change mentors_ lives more.

We must desire to see people rising in life, rather than looking for ways to contribute to their fall.

It became by mission to work with young people to help show them the way, not save them! But help them understand that there are choices that can be made today that will make the difference for their rest of their lives.

I am not a teacher, but an awakener.

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

Reject anything advice, which does not lead to your personal progress.

We must never forget our teachers and our lecturers. In their individual capacities have contributed to our academic, professional and personal development.

He was always so zealous and honorable in fulfilling his compact with me, that he made me zealous and honorable in fulfilling mine with him.

Mentoring is an archetypal activity that has timeless elements which can connect us to the universal ground where nature renews itself and culture becomes reimagined.

What I've found about it is that there are some folks you can talk to until you're blue in the face--they're never going to get it and they're never going to change. But every once in a while, you'll run into someone who is eager to listen, eager to learn, and willing to try new things. Those are the people we need to reach. We have a responsibility as parents, older people, teachers, people in the neighborhood to recognize that.

True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.

In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.

Only the foolish would think that wisdom is something to keep locked in a drawer. Only the fearful would feel empowerment is something best kept to oneself, or the few, and not shared with all.

Other than my foundation - mentoring programs - everything I do is for money.
