It’s the finest thing that you can do…..
Curtis Johnson, PM/PDDGM
Teach, give, mentor. Please don’t leave this all important duty for someone else to do, you are that “someone”. Make “someday“…TODAY and give every new Master Mason the best chance to not only learn, but stay involved in Masonry by you simply giving what someone else gave you, the foundation to stay involved…knowledge and inspiration!
The role of a mentor covers such areas as a master craftsman overseeing an apprentice, and a thesis supervisor with a doctorial candidate. Resident physicians and interns are cases of using the term of mentor in the form of the host organization. The challenge becomes a learning experience. Musicians learn from watching better musicians. Looking over the shoulders of shadow them to learn the nuances of what they do. There is a learning experience gained by working closely with someone who supervises and fine-tunes the less experienced person / Brother. It is Impossible to impart this level of knowledge in any other way.
Mentoring provides for watching a best example in action and communicates a desire to see the Mentees succeed. There is no faster way to accomplish this task than direct Mentoring.
Give back the gifts that someone gave you…..Mentor. You will never regret the time and effort given to your Mentees! We are all caretakers of this Grand Fraternity, mentoring keeps it all going and growing.
