    Lineage of Mentors


 
"Aristotle and Alexander the Great. Bach and Mozart. Wythe and Jefferson. The great narrative of history and the pinnacles of human achievement can be chronicled through a lineage of mentors and their protégées.
 
 
"Great mentoring has been around for a very, very long time; but it is too often practiced only by the few--those truly great teachers and leaders who, either by innate gift or long experience, know how to get the very best out of others and help each of us achieve our highest potential. We have reached a point in history where every student needs such parents and teachers; and we need help to become such leaders and to catch and pass on a vision of greatness and a cause worth living for."


~Oliver DeMille, from the Introduction of the upcoming book, The Student Whisperer
