“Monkstown Hospital by Stewart Stafford

My first time away from Mam,
Tonsillectomy at six years old,
Teddy bear fights Action Man,
Pinball Pocketeer for company.

Silver torch lights the dark hours,
A miniscule pack of playing cards,
A made-up game played undercover,
My best guess of what picture follows.

An older man awaits surgery too,
Seeing that I'm alone and scared,
He draws pictures to amuse me or,
We watch "funnies" in the TV room.

Waking from the operation in the bed,
Congealed blood covers my pyjamas,
My mother makes her shock known,
We go home for my First Communion.

to get ready for my classes,

Keep that principle intact.”

“Los héroes pueden estar lejos y ser inaccesibles. Pueden vivir en otro mundo. Pueden estar muertos. Si los conocemos, es posible que nos quedemos mudos de asombro y no consigamos establecer con ellos una relación como es debido. También es posible que los héroes no sean buenos mentores para nosotros. Puede que sean competitivos o que se nieguen a tener algo que ver con nosotros. Los mentores son diferentes. Asumen un lugar personal e insustituible en nuestra vida. Los mentores nos abren puertas y se implican directamente en nuestro viaje. Nos muestras cuáles deben ser los siguientes pasos y nos proporcionan el valor para que los demos.”
― Ken Robinson, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything

Connecting us to a magnificent amount of wisdom. This allows us to trust our own intuition, instead of grasping at any person's spiritual guidance.”
― Robin S. Baker, Esotericism With an Unconventional Soul: Exploring Philosophy, Spirituality, Science, and Mysticism

“MENTOR
Mentor orang yang dirujuk untuk kita belajar sesuatu perkara yang kita belum tahu, kurang tahu dan ingin tahu lebih lanjut.
MENTOR
Mentor memberi tunjuk ajar, sokongan, dokongan dan memberi semangat untuk mentee berusaha dengan lebih lagi.
MENTOR
Mentor sebagai penasihat, pembimbing dan penyelia untuk mentee belajar dan memahami sesuatu ilmu dengan lebih mendalam.
Tak salah nak ada banyak mentor, cuma ada batasan, perlu bijak memilih mentor, tak perlu semborono mengikut semua yang disuruh andai perkara tersebut secara nyata salah, melanggar undang-undang, haram dan tidak wajar.
Justeru, pastikan memilih mentor yang betul agar perkara yang anda lakukan bukan menjadi sia-sia dan hanya membuang masa semata.
