Bad mentors see you as building their brand. They take credit for your success.

Good mentors see you as a younger version of themselves. They help you follow in their footsteps.

Great mentors see your potential to be a better version of yourself. They help you find your path.

Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value. -Arthur Miller

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

“I was just being myself” is not an excuse for disrespectful behavior. It signals a lack of concern for others.

Authenticity without empathy is selfish. Authenticity without boundaries is careless.

Being true to yourself shouldn’t come at the expense of being kind to others.
