Bob Proctor, an author and motivational speaker, said, "A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you."
The term "mentor" traces its roots to Greek mythology. Mentor was a wise man, and friend of Odysseus, who was left in charge of the Greek king’s son, Telemachus, when the great leader left for the Trojan War. Mentor developed a close relationship with Telemachus, encouraged him and fostered his development. As time has passed, the term "mentor" has come to mean someone who imparts wisdom to and shares knowledge with a less experienced colleague.
