The true test of mentoring is giving to another the same gift of support, education, and belief that was given to you. The true value of mentoring is the same it has always been, since before we learned to write, since before we laid the first brick to build Babylon—since the time of those oral traditions, the stories told by elders around fires at the end of a long day of hunting and gathering. Only those who have truly learned the value of mentoring can keep that chain strong.
