A Simple Message To That One "fake" Metor

Submitted by unspokenwordz on October 7, 2007 - 8:32am.

Now days they are a lot of “fake” people out in the world, but no one tops the list then that one “fake” mentor. Every now and then two people connect to work with one another - one that is experience and one that it is not. The one that is experience agrees to help the one that it is not so experience and show them the ropes, becoming the mentor. After agreement of one been a mentor, these people (mentors) go out and ignore the inexperience person. Why is this? Why offer some one your help and never return a simple answer? Would it be easier or better to let the person know that you supposed to be mentoring that you are busy but did not forget about them, or tell them that you can not be their mentor. There is no need to go on leading one person that they have help when they really do not. Aren’t you a human being? Aren’t we family in one way or the other? Everyday I here stories about people that does this to them on a daily routine. I honest believe that these “fake” mentors are considered to be one of many groups that are lower then dirt. Remember that you (the mentor) yourself was in the same boat once upon a time, you were in a position where you did not know anything about anything and needed help to put your foot in the door. This is the same as those seeking help, all they are trying to do is put their foot in the door.
Is a shame that people do this to each other? Did you (the mentor) forget where you came from? Or how you started? Wasn’t it difficult for you to start in your venture? Why play with people’s feelings or future when they are serious about learning about their chosen fields. I know you (the mentor) did not like when you were getting played with when those “fake” mentors did it to you. Maybe it is just me that is getting sick and tired of fake people not only mentors. But why not help? Are better than them? Or are you afraid that they will become better then yourself?
