Who's your mentor?

I agree with the others here (sorry Cloudy). The iron is the one constant in my life. Family and friends can come and go but the iron is always there for me.

Every Sunday night I turn to the iron and ask 'wanna work out?' Then I start, first the front, then the back, then the sleeves and finally the collar. Seven shirts to last the week.

I only ever had one argument with the iron and that was when some idiot phoned me while I was ironing. My ear was very badly burnt. But MAN, that iron was HOT!!!!

Mentors? If theres a person thats taught me more about life than anyone else..I'd say it'd be God. If you're looking at a more human figure, it would be my father.
In the end though, learning comes only from within. Nobody can force another person to learn.. so I guess I'd have to take credit for that too [img]smile.gif[/img]

I dont do weights but I do something close to it: I swim. I swim for sport, I swim for pleasure, I swim for the school, but most of all I swim for myself. I went in, and convinced myself that nobody could call me weak for not trying my best. I ended up going for swimming training every day to push myself even further knowing that it only gets better. Sorta changed my perspective on things like studying..because no matter how I do, nobody can say I didnt try [img]smile.gif[/img]
So that would be a mentor as well, if you look at it that way.

Hmm, been much of a lonewolf, trying to get by on my own. I have had supporting parents though that has always helped me if I have need of it, but I have made my own way pretty much. My misstakes and nobody elses.

So no mentor in my life.

ROTFLMAO @ Donut.... Gods... don't you ever run out of inspiration?

And Lavindathar, the way you phrase your opinion is just as definitive/authoritative as Cloudy's: "the best place for your problems, is with you (or an inanimate object such as "the iron"). Not burderning anyone else."
You are comdemning those who "burden others with their problems" just as much as Cloudy feels sorry for those who can't ever connect to others.

Oh what the heck, MARRY ME, DONUT! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

You are truly scaring me, my delightful brekkie dish... that theme hit my warped little mind on impact with the word 'iron'. *giggle*

Sigh.. you simply must marry me now, you know. We think along the same lines....and you... do IRONING! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

yorick, with all respect, how can you learn from someone or something you've never even met ?

Well other than my father no one, I was taught to believe in my self, to trust in God and the difference between right and wrong. I was also taught to be self sufficient and to work for what I wanted and not to expect anyone to give me anything. This isn't to say that I deny the charity and hospitality of friends or family, just that I do not expect it as a given, or a right. I think Mentor programs are great, I am just sad that they are needed.

Cliff Yablonski is my mentor. Dont argue and DONT step on his bushes!
