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.
