sometimes it is much easier to go through life with a mentor to show you the ropes, share valuable experience and encourage you when you feel demoralised. if you find yourself easily discouraged and don't feel good enough, then maybe you need to work on confidence and self esteem issues. but often, a good mentor that is willing to guide and support you through can be very beneficial. someone more experienced can see your potential and encourage you not to give up when you feel like nothing is going your way.
emphasis on WILLING and wanting you to improve and do well
