Mentoring/Responsibility
My philosophy has always been that usually nothing falls in your lap without
some sort of effort or planning, and that no one is going to offer you the
world on a silver platter. Whether in my personal or professional life, in
many situations I have identified or sought out those persons who not only
have the knowledge I desire, but also the time and interest in sharing their
knowlege with me. Mentors do not guide you every step of the way; they are
there to bounce ideas off of, redirect you if necessary, and hold the bar
higher than you thought it was supposed to be. And there is a direct
corelation between what kind of a positive effect your mentor will have on
you, and how humble you are!
I feel very blessed (and humble) that I was befriended and mentored by some
wonderful endurance people. Gini Wilson and James Agnew helped me out a lot.
I am continuing to meet and talk to people who are extremely generous with
their time and knowledge, because they were once where I am. It all comes
full circle, and someday I hope to be able to impart any wisdom I may gain
over the years, to some "newbie". The Catch-22 is that first they have to
ask for help.
