Iron Sharpens Iron Iron sharpens iron. I know that I have to surround myself with people who are at the stage where I want to be. It is such an obvious and important fact. I can imitate them. They can be my role model. I simulate what they practise. I explore what they read. I study how they think. I keep away from what they hate. I believe I would be influenced positively and gradually. It looks like a mentoring process. It seems an automatic pilot system. Nonetheless, it is difficult to find some people to be my mentors in the reality. Fortunately, there are millions of mentors on the Internet. I can follow them so easily.

Hi Steve,

Can I offer a suggestion that you can also refer to these mentors as your "role models". Role models are people who have a certain good qualities or characters that you admire and would like to incorporate as part of your life. Thus, you examine how they respond to situations, how they connect with others socially and the principles they apply in their life.

** I have some reservation regarding the word "automatically" as it gives me the perception of an instant change that is pre-programmed. I believe it should be a positive change that takes time to develop.

These are just my opinions.

Hope this help.

Cheers, Lance
