Work place romances always seem to get very confused and peculiar, in my experience.

Sean Pertwee

Being vulnerable can be scary at times, but it's the times when you feel the most lost, confused, and stressed where you need to press into your mentor the most. If you're not willing to be 100 percent honest with your mentor, you're doing yourself the disservice of not receiving the help that you need to better yourself in life.

Tobias Harris

In myths and movies, the mentor can play a few roles: they bring the hero a magical gift, teach them how to use a special tool, or help the hero get unstuck. In a presentation setting, the presenter is the mentor. Our role as a presenter is similar to a mentor. We should be brining something of important value to our audience, they should not leave empty handed. There should be something useful and somewhat life-altering that we give them. It's not very often that we sit through a presentation and feel like we've sat at the feet of a mentor, but we should.

Nancy Duarte

Executives don't burn out and leave when they feel deep satisfaction. They don't create the human detritus that disgruntled managers do.

Srikumar Rao

All my films are, in some way, romances. But I've always felt that the best romances are somehow doomed.

David MacKenzie

One is born to be a dancer. No teacher can work miracles, nor will years of training make a good dancer of an untalented pupil. One may be able to acquire a certain technical facility, but no one can ever 'acquire an exceptional talent.' I have never prided myself on having an unusually gifted pupil. A Pavlova is no one's pupil but God's.

George Balanchine

While not exactly disgruntled, he was far from feeling gruntled. He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.

P. G. Wodehouse

Originally a pupil of Liebig, I became a pupil of Dumas, Gerhardt and Williamson: I no longer belonged to any school.

August Kekule

I leave Phoenix and everybody's calling me disgruntled, but then you see my teammates that were there speak highly of me.

Markieff Morris

Masochists are people that have pleasure confused with pain. In a world that has television confused with entertainment, doritoes confused with food, and Dan Quayle confused with a national political leader, masochists are clearly less mixed-up than the rest of us.

P. J. O'Rourke

Tiffany has been apprenticing as a witch by visiting people in need with her mentor. After meeting with one particularly sad case, she tells her mentor, "It shouldn't be like this." Her mentor replies, "There isn't a way things should be. There's just what happens, and what we do.

Terry Pratchett

Good teachers make the best of a pupil's means; great teachers foresee a pupil's ends.

Maria Callas

People think you can find a mentor by walking up to somebody and saying, 'Hey, be my mentor,' or by sending an e-mail to someone you've never e-mailed before and saying, 'Hey, I want you to mentor me.' But, mentorship really happens in rooms that you're actually in.

Luvvie Ajayi

If you're early on in your career and they give you a choice between a great mentor or higher pay, take the mentor every time. It's not even close. And don't even think about leaving that mentor until your learning curve peaks.

Stanley Druckenmiller

The worst mistake a leader can make is to mentor no one, choose no successor and leave no legacy.

Myles Munroe

I've got to be honest, I absolutely don't like designing romances. I think that you get a lot more drama and impact from failed romances, or unrequited relationships that occur in games. I think that creates more player tension.
