生活中需要的朋友

 

A Wise Mentor¹

 

睿智的导师

 

 

Jesse Jackson once said, "Never look down on someone unless you're helping² them up."If you have someone smart, inspiring,and admirable in your life who practices this philosophy, you're extremely lucky. We all need a friend who inspires us to be better people without making us feel inadequate³. Plus, being around such aperson will challenge us to better ourselves every day.

 

 

The wise mentor in your life doesn't have to be someone who shares the same occupation or hobbies withyou. It's simply someone who's a few steps ahead of you in life and has enough wisdom and patience to guideyou in the right direction. It can be anyone —a colleague, a friend who’s beyond their years, or an older neighbor —as long as you look up to this personand want to be more like them.
