10 | MENTORS MAGAZINE | EDITION 2
If you’re reading this, you may be
young and eager, ready to shake things up
and put the world on notice. Or you may be
enjoying some success and wondering
what’s next. Maybe you’re smarting from a
failure and trying to figure out how to stage
your comeback. Or you may be an experi-
enced leader or executive feeling like you’ve
hit a wall and asking, “What more can I do?”Know this: you are not average. You
already have what it takes to succeed and
stand out. Own it. Learn to accept and love
yourself for who you are: worthy and valua-ble, “vices” (Virtues!) and all. Don’t just
march to the beat of your own drum; build
your own drums out of wire, garbage, and
spare parts.
