Mentors (please correct me)
Human being needs a big idea- - -"Big idea" sounds wrong. Grand idea? Grand plan?
to be happy? [I am correcting the grammar, but I would dispute the claim if I were having a discussion with you.]
Or is it utopia? Life is all about little things or we need a big goal. [Huh? This does not seem to make sense. Did you mean to say?: "Life is all about little things BUT we need a unifying goal."]
I think Sharma said in one of his books THAT only you CAN define THE goalS of your life. But there is one rule; the goalS needs to be bigger than you. THEY needs to be more important than you.
[This does not make logical sense to me. I do not think it is wise advice. Perhaps it would make sense if you have been taught to think that you are unimportant, that you cannot take control of your own life and that your are always going to be a child who needs a parent figure. I see it as a sign of an insecure or immature personality. Did you know that you can grow beyond this?]
Do you agree? Or do you think that it depends on the circumstances?
Of course, we are all different. WHAT ABOUT YOU? ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A feeling that something carries you down the road; THAT YOU DO NOT walk by yourSELF? I tell you: these are not butterflies in your tummy; there is atomic energy inside your feet.
Of course we all know this feeling. [No. We don't all know this feeling. You have already acknowledged this by saying that "we are all different". ] But sometimes we burn out VERY fast. HOW DO YOU keep yourself energized THE whole time? Nowadays THERE ARE so many coaches AND so many books, but there is no UNIVERSALLY AGREED UPON IDEA ABOUT what to do. Do all of us need GRAND goals?
MANY YEARS AGO I heard Oleg Torsunov SPEAK. xxxxxx. xxxxx. He CLAIMED THAT everybody needs a mentor. THIS IS NOT SOMEONE THAT YOU NEED to meet IN PERSON; it can be A virtual teacher. IT CAN BE SIMPLY A person THAT you want to SPEND TIME WITH, OR SOMEONE THAT YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE. Nowadays there are mentors everywhere. You may have TWO OF THEM or FIVE OF THEM!
This is a time WHEN knowledge is VERY accessible, and we should appreciate that. My generation can’t ADEQUATELY compare THIS SITUATION with THE past because we didn’t live during that time. So WE ARE ALL lucky BECAUSE we are surrounded with plenty of resources and SOURCES of inspiration. We can CHOOSE BETWEEN MANY mentorS. We even can be mentors ourselves.
[I am still unclear about what a "mentor" is, and what a "mentor" does. Do you just mean "a teacher", or do you mean someone who encourages your and inspires you to learn something, or to strive to be something? ]
