It reminds me of something I wrote about back in 2005, regarding Howard Hughes and how he could've been different if he'd had a strong mentor (http://genuinecuriosity.com/genuinecuriosity/2005/2/14/dont-be-like-howard-hughes.html) It's hard to take advice sometimes. Thanks for the reminder to be open - especially like your assessment: <i>"Mentors have nothing to gain by correcting us. We have everything to gain."</i> Amen, brother.
