Personal mentor

During school days, I used to study real hard for my exams, hoping that I can really score well and bring pride to myself and my mom. We were poor and many richer kids sort of look down on me and that makes me feel very bad somehow but my mom kept encouraging me. That's why I'm so grateful to her.

I remember well when I was studying for exams, on one hand, I was really motivated and kept on munching on the books and i told myself "I must get a good grade for this exam", but on the other hand, my little mind kept pulling me down by saying "I'm dumb, and I won't do well." So you know what's the outcome. I studied well enough however, the results turned out to be disappointing and I just managed to scrape through after two attempts. It was so sad then.

But now thanks for Marie Callas, I understand why.

People are not aware of this constant exercise in their mind to pull them down the water and they have no clue how to change it.

So I support the idea of having a personal mentor. That person must be someone more successful and knows what life is all about. The mentor can also be someone discerning, or even a book that tells you what the real deal in right mental approach. The whole purpose is to make your mind work for you instead of against you.
