What Mentoring Means

To mentor someone and help them achieve something worthy:

1) Understand who they are, and what makes them itch
2) Support them to unreasonable lengths
3) Challenge them to demonstrate what they really can be/do
4) Help them surprise themselves. 

This is just Paul Hudnut's opinion. No facts support this post.
By the way, this is also good advice for how to love someone.

I hope that I am living up to Paul's thoughts on mentorship since they are very close to my own. Thanks Paul.
