Mentor

You need a mentor or coach to progress in any field. 
Take for example the game ‘Chess”. How much ever you practice, it never teaches you to understand the other’s next move. That’s why even computers failed against man. Sometimes man failed against the computer. There is always a pattern that exists in animal movement. The movement is more or less the same in their species. But, humans can alter the patterns hence he may never know the movement of the opponent. 

The spectators who watch our game of chess can identify the threat from our opponent’s move. But we fail to recognise why because the opponent pushes us into his pattern of thinking. You play his game and never know he was drawing into a trap. The person who watches our play can caution that move. We never know we are being trapped, Sometimes the illusion mind and the death drap are triggered by the same part of the brain. That’s what the salesman does. He makes some move and our brain triggers caution but we fail to see the trigger. We may sense it as the illusion of fantasy and fall into.. The Conman does that when you are alone but not with your mentor or guardian.

The games needed a coach for every team. The coach foresees the movement of the opponent and tells you what your opponent is planning. We rarely respect coaches. In reality, he can foresee your future and help you to excel in your profession. 

Sometimes I believe the mentors are time travelers. They judge you nicely and update the forthcoming and caution you from the peril. The time traveler who reaches you on time as a coach or mentor helps to switch you in the right direction. I experienced one old wise man telling me, there is always an energy trying to guide us in the form of parents, friends, mentor, teacher, guide…etc. But we never listen to them.  Even though God gave us two ears. We are never a good listener and we always misunderstand the elders’ caution and dig our own grave.

The mentor may be an angel but how to understand them. 
Whenever someone is cautioning you, take note and no need to nod like a hypocrite. When you are travelling give a thought, why and what he has told where you failed to look and which direction. If you sit and listen to you, there is something that will be telling you why you shouldn’t ignore them. But keep it mind the inner voice may definitely help to understand you, where you stay in the caution. 
Simple, a daily thing happening on the road. When someone madly drives his vehicle, you always want to look into his face Why?
You know he is never going to survive long when he continues to drive like this or you throw a caution on him. There you know his future happening as a mentor. 
You’re a time traveler..
