Re: Who can be a mentor? (Not FIRST rules related but a general life question)

Elgin:

I thought about the word, wisdom, when I read your post. If you spend some time exploring that you will see that wisdom doesn't have an age. Guidance doesn't have an age. Young children can help us to remember to laugh and to play.

This is a good thread to look at and think about:

One of our team's alumni from '04 has given me good counsel over the years. Some day we will age to the point that everyone is younger than we are. Do we stop learning, listening, appreciating, growing because we are the eldest? I hope not.

And, within the forests dwell trees of all ages, each adding their growth, shade, and shelter to the life of the forest. Mentoring at its best, can be like that.
