**" The true tragedy in most peoples lives is that they are far better than they imagine themselves to be and, as a result, end up being much less than they might be." - Earl R. Smith II**

Like seriously are there any benefits or positivity in having a mentor ? Be it a good mentor or a bad mentor ?. 
As you might have known or heard, a mentor could also be referred to as a teacher whom you learn from and arquire knowledge as well. 
It's been 5years now since I started involving myself and practicing football as a career, I have been forced sincerely to put this questions into consideration not by anyone but by my desire and motivation in becoming great and successful in my career, is having a mentor a must? Is having a mentor a good or bad idea? Well, we would see for ourselves. 
We all definitely now how the football system works and been a player, you should have a position where you do perform better and I normally play from the midfield position. Most times I don't get featured in a match not because I really don't have a mentor but because I was good, not just good enough rather and I hardly engaged myself watching professionals playing as I regard it as waste of time and resources.

**Musuit Özil**


I decided to browse around the net and even on YouTube to watch both past and present clips from him. I kept doing this day by day and not forgetting  to put to practice all that I learnt each day from the videos and so on. Within me I found out that I was improving, even if I wasn't playing like Özil, I was playing far better than before and to my greatest surprise I was now getting more time on the field of play. 

So tell me why I shouldn't get a mentor for myself, if I could improve so much with the help of a mentor then I see no big deal in having a mentor rather  you're doing yourself more good. 
**Get yourself a mentor, learn and archive great knowledge towards your career pursuit !!**
