The video above and others that will follow demonstrate some of the mentoring points that I have had to learn, relearn, and organize over the past few years. As John Bradshaw said, “A teacher is always teaching what he needs to learn the most.”
In reflecting on the theme of mentoring, I just now remembered the first words of wisdom that I ever heard, which came to me when I was about five years old, while playing either cards or dominoes with my maternal grandfather James Harrison McCardell, or “Jelly” as I called him.
I remember the scene very clearly: we were in the living room of my grandmother´s house, probably in the afternoon, seated near the front door of her house at 9310 Meadowbriar in Houston, Texas. Apparently, my grandmother was letting me win the hand, and my grandfather stopped her and said, “He has to learn how to lose.”
There it is—in life and business, we all have to know how to lose, face loss, accept it as normal and natural, and then keep moving forward.
Mentoring (1) benefits the mentor, too!
