Mentoring Requires Being Elegantly Adaptive

Early one morning I was in my side yard and walked up on a huge elaborate spider web complete with its designer-tenant. As I approached the artwork, the spider began to vibrate the web sending early morning dewdrops everywhere. The next morning the web was gone without a trace. A bird had obviously flown through it. But, nearby was a brand new elegant web spread between two trees. And, the same spider situated in the middle seemed poised for action.

Great mentors are like spider-web builders....
