Having a mentor is very beneficial in self-development, because they can provide new perspectives, valuable advice, and help us see mistakes that we might have missed. I think many people hesitate to seek out a mentor because they are afraid of being seen as troublesome or not knowing how to start a conversation. However, from my experience, mentors are happy to share their knowledge and experience to teach me so that it is very helpful for me personally. One thing is for sure, in learning we must have a sincere intention and never be ashamed of the potential that we have so that we can get useful knowledge from mentors to achieve success in the future.
But they don't use any advice on themselves because they don't believe in themselves. We can take advice from anyone, we have to do what we are good at and know we can do and slowly do what we can't. People don't look for it, they talk to people for their own benefit and ask them what to do and how to get profit and how to succeed in life. Your thinking is wrong. First of all, even if that mentor is successful, then if there is any mentor, then you should go for advice from him, from whom you will be called a fool.We should do something new by ourselves, by which we have seen something new in this world, and from that, a mentor should learn something from us and work. It is better to consult a mentor than to do nothing at all.
