Warren Buffet said “if you can tell me who your heroes are I can tell you how you are going to turn out in life�. Lately, I have heard a lot of buzz about mentors and heroes. On a venture to seek for the perfect hero mentor I have found myself road blocked by several challenges.
I want to be great but I don’t have a famous genius willing to mentor me. After all don’t you have to have a great hero mentor if you want to be epic yourself? Alexander the Great was mentored by Aristotle who was mentored by Plato who claims Socrates mentored him. Thomas Jefferson and a handful of the other Founding Fathers were mentored by George Wythe. I don’t know Allen Greenspan, or Hernando De Soto, or Bill Gates and if I did I have no idea how I would convince them that they need to spend time mentoring me.
In historical events great men—so-called—are but labels serving to give a name to the event, and like labels they have the least possible connection with the event itself. Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will, is in an historical sense not free at all, but in bondage to the whole course of previous history, and predestined from all eternity.
