While Emma and her husband are having breakfast the morning of Valentine’s Day, Emma lovingly looks into Jim’s eyes. She says, “I had a dream that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine’s Day. What do you think it means?”
“You’ll know tonight.” Jim said with a smile. That evening, Jim came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, Emma opened it – only to find a book entitled “The Meaning of Dreams”.
A man was in his usual place in the morning, sitting at the table, reading the paper after breakfast. He came across an article about a beautiful actress who was about to marry a football player. The player was known primarily for his lack of IQ, common sense, and good looks. He turned to his wife: “You know, I’ll never understand why the biggest, ugliest jerks always get the most attractive wives.” His wife replied, “Why thank you, dear!”
“A real mentor is someone who walks along side of us. They have an
ear to listen to us. They bring their maturity and experience into our
lives. They’ve ‘been there, done that.’ When you think of a mentor,
think of someone who goes, the way, shows the way, and knows the way.” –
