Okay, so here we are to begin the seventh core lesson in our entire 12 core lesson course, this particular lesson is on mentors. Are you familiar with what a mentor is? Well, if not, you're about to find out. And the focus here today is finding the right mentors. So what's our quote of the day it goes like this, if you're read along with me over here, a mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you. Now, that sounds pretty valuable, doesn't it?
In today's lesson, we're going to go over number one, our introduction and mystery question as usual. Then we'll look at the importance of mentors. Finding the right mentors, and then we'll wrap up with mystery question answered. So let's get into it. Here. Rose, you're familiar with what a hero is right?
Well, the definition is a hero is a person who is admired or idolized for courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities. Can you think of a few heroes who comes to mind? Well, superheroes, of course. And everyday heroes, many of us had a hero as a child. They may have been superheroes like Superman or Iron Man, which is really popular today.

Mentors don't want to give advice to people when there's little likelihood that someone will follow through with that advice. So, if you want to find a mentor, you have to have the right approach because you can't simply ask someone to be your mentor. Having a mentor is a relationship that must develop over time. Experts say that the best approach to getting a mentor is to ask him or her one powerful question. And that's my question to you.
