Robert Greene Quotes

Mentors Have Their Own Strengths And Weaknesses. The Good Ones Allow You To Develop Your Own Style And Then To Leave Them When The Time Is Right. Such Types Can Remain Lifelong Friends And Allies. But Often The Opposite Will Occur. They Grow Dependent On Your Services And Want To Keep You Indentured. They Envy Your Youth And Unconsciously Hinder You, Or Become Overcritical. You Must Be Aware Of This As It Develops. Your Goal Is To Get As Much Out Of Them As Possible, But At A Certain Point You May Pay A Price If You Stay Too Long And Let Them Subvert Your Confidence. Your Submitting To Their Authority Is By No Means Unconditional, And In Fact Your Goal All Along Is Eventually To Find Your Way To Independence, Having Internalized And Adapted Their Wisdom.
