When you are first confronted with a problem, it can all seem daunting. Don't dive right in.
Take a break, go for a walk, ask for some time to think things over, close your eyes for 10 ...
Ask people to explain it to you a few times. Keep asking questions to really get to the root of the problem.
Then go ahead and explain the problem to someone else, just to make sure you really understand it. Often times, simply formulating the problem and explaining it to others can help you understand it better. And that is the first crucial step to solving a problem.
No matter how awful your situation may be, rest assured that someone else has been through the same thing.
It is important to realize how your situation compares to the rest of what you are doing, and how bad it really is compared to all the good things in your life.

We always work the hardest for the things we are most passionate about.
Choose your destiny and invest yourself in those fields that most interest you.
This type of comfort breeds something lazy in us and we only do what is expected of us, but do not go beyond.

Make sure that from the very beginning you communicate to your mentee exactly how all is going to take place: how often, where, how, etc. Get to know the other and use all the means you dispose of in order to help him or her reach the desired goal.
More than giving directions, a mentor is supposed to provide the so-called pieces of supportive advice, which will enable the mentee to make up her or his mind, based on their own beliefs.
