This article really resonated with me. I have been enamored with the concept of mentors - most of my life. I lost my father when I was 13 and was never able to fill that void over the years. That loss influenced my life for sure - but in positive ways as well. Making me a better father because I understood what it meant to not have one present. But I can take solace in knowing that I have mentored many people over the years. For a long time I just looked at it as being a "good boss" and didn't see what I was actually doing. Mentoring is vital. It's how knowledge and know-how is passed down through the generations. Why apprenticeships in some fields have worked so well over the centuries.

Thanks, Mehmet for a wonderful story.
