Article: The Power of Mentorship | By: Ayomide Olatunji
Many want to be great but a few know
the secrets. A lot of people are
ignorantly labouring in the wrong
things. “The labour of the foolish man wearieth everyone of them because HE KNOWETH NOT HOW to go to the city.” ECC 10:15.
Not everyone is struggling to succeed. While
some are succeeding cheaply others are
struggling tirelessly. It takes light to succeed. Wisdom demands that we
identify the people that are commanding the results we want and pronto we
become an 'overnight' success.
There are no overnight successes anywhere.
What we have are overnight learners who have succeeded in translating knowledge
to results. One might ask, where do I get such knowledge that would lead to
success? Who has this wisdom in store? Is it really possible for any man to
have such feat-commanding wisdom? Those questions are almost as old as the
human race. “ Whence then cometh wisdom? and
where is the place of understanding? Job 28:20. The fact that there are
successful people around tells us people
have what it takes to succeed and they
are trading with them already.
You see friends, success is predictable.
If you want to know what God thinks about it (success ), you just need to check
the guys He gave it to. God has made manifold wisdom available to make our stay here on earth
worthwhile. One of such manifold wisdom
is MENTORSHIP.
MENTORSHIP
Man is a being meant to be guided. When
he is not guided, he tends to make mistakes every now and then. As he grows,
his responsibilities tend to grow at seemingly higher rate. He cannot afford to
make costly mistakes. Life, they say has
no duplicate. We must therefore make the most of our stay here on earth.
One of the ways of making our stay
meaningful here on earth is breaking down our larger than life aspirations into
realizable piecemeal. This we call “goals”. Though our goals are personal, yet
someone has done what we want to do before. The words of old wise king Solomon comes to mind, “ There is nothing new under the sun.” Time-honored truth!
Someone might in fact be doing what we
want to do at the moment. It behoves on us to link up with such and learn from
them. This is why mentorship becomes imperative
for anyone who wants to succeed without wasting enormous time, resources and efforts.
One of the most abused word is
mentorship. It is used to describe just any form of relationship. Like Myles
Munroe said, “when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. “
As simple as the word sounds, it carries a transforming power that is yet
record it’s first failure.
For you to succeed, you cannot afford to be a” lone ranger”. Everything you ever need to succeed is with someone. As
a matter of necessity you must have someone
ahead to put you through. Successful people are mentored people. They have
mentors for every aspect of their lives. They don’t hazard guesses neither do
they arrive at decisions without cross checking with their mentors. Little
wonder they come out tops in their endeavours. You can’t afford to walk through the maze of life blindfolded by
ignorance and complacency. It’s a luxury you can’t afford
You must understand that there are two factors involved in a
successful mentorship programme .
1. The people
2. The Process.
THE
PEOPLE
This talks about the
personalities involved in a successful
mentorship programme. There are two people involved in a successful mentorship.
The first is the Mentee the second is the Mentor.
It is the interaction of these
two personalities that kick-starts a successful mentorship.
THE MENTEE
v A Mentee is someone desirous of knowing more
than his present capacity through the help of well-informed person . That is,
he sees his present capacity as been
grossly inadequate for his future and makes conscious efforts to his increase his knowledge bank. The
distance between your future and present is the knowledge available to you.
When your capacity for knowledge increases, the gap between you and your
desired end is bridged. A Mentee must be knowledge-thirsty. This forms the
bedrock of any success in life. Complacency is the greatest undoing of most
people . Our Lord Jesus Christ rebukes the complacent in Rev 3:17.
What
clearly marks a real mentee out is an unquenchable desire to know more. When you think you have
arrived, then you have actually stagnated. It is this unquenchable desire to know
more that drives the mentee to look for those who have demonstrated such. When
you are thoroughly satisfied with what you know, then check it! The great Apostle
Paul despite his erudition and vast knowledge still hungered for knowledge. (Phil
3:10).
Ignorance
is a deadly disease. That has sent many to their untimely grave both physically
and otherwise. Why struggle when everything is available for your success. When your taste for
knowledge increases significantly and progressively then success for you is a
matter of when, all things been equal.
