Mentor-MenteemomentfeaturingDTMMayur

Richard Feynman, one of the most renowned physicists of this generation, has said that if you want to master something, then, teach it A mentor offers encouragement and guidance to fellow members of Toastmasters while they work to accomplish their goals. A mentor has an opportunity to share experience, wisdom, and knowledge, while a protégé gains a foundation for building skills and meeting goals Mentoring can be rewarding to both the mentor and the mentee.

Over the past four and half years, I have learnt from mentors and had the experience to mentor four wonderful toastmasters- Vasigaran, Chandru, Sanjay and Vijay. I'm glad to share my experience and learning with all of you this evening

Imagination

There are no boundaries to your imagination. If you want to dream about a date with Sunny Leone, go ahead and do it, if you want to fly an Airbus A380 go do it, if you want to be the CM of Tamil Nadu do it. The sky is the limit for your dreams Vasigaran was one such person who would push the limitations of creativity His speech scripts would be so innovative and thought-provoking.

Perseverance

To move a mountain, you start with a single stone Likewise, if you want to accomplish something, do it step by step. When we set a goal, persistent efforts will get us to realise our dreams Vijay and Chandru are two people who I admire for their perseverance. Right from their first speech, they had the desire to improve After every speech or role, they would approach me and ask for my feedback.

Positivity

More often we tend to look at a glass as half empty rather than half full That's the way some of us are wired to think. I had known Sanjay from an outdoor meeting at a resort At the very first moment, I admired his jovial and fun-loving attitude.
