Coaching and Mentoring: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” – Isaac Newton.
The man Isaac Newton is considered the most influential scientist of all time. He is a winner of the Noble Prize for Science, whose laws of gravitational forces changed how we view our world and are being studied in schools worldwide. He was a brilliant man that developed the mathematical method of Calculus and Optics’ the branch of science that deals with light.

He is a remarkable man indeed, which is why his quote above should be considered, for it can be seen that Newton recognized the importance of coaching and mentoring.
He attained worldwide fame and an uncommon level of intelligence by standing on the shoulders of others, learning from the works of mentors and famous scientists like Johannes Kepler and Robert Boyle to make out his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of science.
A mentor, as defined by The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is “someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often a younger person, a trusted counselor or guide, tutor, coach.”
So in whatsoever goal you are pursuing in life, be it in academics, a career, or business, there should be someone more experienced from who you should gain inspiration and tap into their experience as this gives you a better chance at achieving the same level of success or far more remarkable than that.
It would help to put yourself in a different mould than your mentor, not trying hard to be exactly like them; everyone is unique.
Instead, it would help if you learned from the principles, techniques, and wisdom applied in achieving their success which you now admire and work hard on doing even better than that while also learning important lessons from their mistakes and studying the pitfalls that brought them down to avoid similar occurrences in your path to success.
In other words, coaching and mentoring provide us with a prepared platform that we can leverage to become better people, as the path charted by those before us can serve as a map for us in navigating successfully through this journey of life.
Mentoring and learning from them may be a challenging, challenging course; it might be difficult. You must dedicate your time and make sacrifices to study their life patterns. It may involve reading books, listening to audiotapes, watching videos, attending seminars, or putting up with his different personality. It would help if you used every opportunity you have to learn as you will indeed pathway one day as you chart your course.
