Before finding a mentor, I feel it's essential to really find your own calling and passion. From my experience, this will become a guiding bond in this kind of relationship. Be curious and engaged - and push yourself actively. Be as good as you can at what you love to do, and you will certainly get a mentor's attention.

What you want in a mentor is someone who truly cares for you and who will look after your interests and not just their own. When you do come across the right person to mentor you, start by showing them that the time they spend with you is worthwhile.

Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.

There's natural mentoring that goes on in my life every day.

I'm not a person of mentors.

I don't have a mentor in the strict definition. I take as much advice and inspiration as I can from the people I am close to.

The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.

I look up to a lot of people, but outside of my parents, I've never really had a mentor.

All of us are mentors. You're mentors right here and now. And one of the things I've always done throughout my life, I have always found that person, that group of people that I was going to reach my hand out and help bring them along with me.

Being a mentor is something that's new for me but a role that I take very seriously.
