People had to rely more on others who they saw where doing better in the career path they had mapped out for themselves. You know there were no much means to get knowledge from outside your environment, that's one thing that made many people relied so much in having a mentor. But in this present world that idea or thinking that you need to have a mentor before you can succeed is gradually fading away. Because people have now understand and realised that they can succeed on their own without a mentor. The internet has now made it possible for people to have access to informations and materials that can help you discipline yourself till you achieve your desired goals in life.

In any governance system, every human being has his or her own measure of how to chart his affairs in the right perspective. Some need human contact that will help them go through the different information sources independently some do not require that form of assistance. Therefore, there are no rights or wrongs in life because the key is to always be in a state of progress and seeking what we have set our sights on. The possibility of acquiring knowledge is now much broader and a person can get the necessary information himself, without depends on others. What needs to be done is how to utilise all the information at our disposal in the right manner so that our chances to be in the right side prevails.
