In reality, this connection doesn't require a purity test to confirm the mentor/mentee arrangement.
Advisory relationships work best when they happen naturally, and fail when forced. Forget the labels and absorb wisdom from brilliant people in whatever form it comes.

Too many people end up disappointed when they realize their mentor has limits.
Even the strongest relationships have boundaries.
But just because a mentor doesn't want to take on risk, or circumnavigate the ninth circle of hell with you, doesn't invalidate the relationship.

A mentor should have knowledge to share, advice on certain experiences, personal stories relevant to yours, or ways of thinking that can influence your decision-making and problem-solving.
But rarely will a mentor be your confidante, emotional support system, knowledge base, brainstorm partner, and guidance counselor all at once.
"It is important for the mentee to prioritize discussing tactical and tangible issues the mentor can help solve."

Unless your mentor is a supervisor or someone senior in your organization, the expectation that he/she will make introductions and open doors is a romantic, but misguided, one.
Instead, mentors prefer empowering their mentees to carve out their own opportunities.

You are not worthy of mentorship just because you decide so. Mentorship is a two-way street, and a mentor wants to grow with her mentee.
A mentor needs to gain something from the interaction, whether it's a vicarious experience of exciting new projects.
A great mentor won't be interested in allocating time and energy to a protégé who doesn't promise a fun ride ahead.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
