Project Paul

Semester 1 of University in the National Institute of Education (NIE) has officially ended. It has been a fruitful journey. Each step of the way has sharpened my vision of becoming a teacher. I have spent a great deal of my life serving in different leadership roles. I have taken the role of a:

1) President
2) Chairman
3) Treasurer
4) Secretary
5) Orientation Leader
6) Captain
7) Committee Head
8) Ambassador
9) Army Officer (which is my proudest role in life)

But I have come to discover that my greatest passion in life is nurturing people. I believe today's youths are tomorrow's leaders. Success without a successor is a failure. I want to invest and bet my last breath on them.

I want to become a teacher in life. Like Jesus.

In the upcoming posts, I am going to address the topic of mentoring the next generation. I will crystallize and archive some of the key lessons that I have learnt in the past semester.

Mentoring is a powerful phenomenon and tool that many leaders in many churches and even corporate organizations are starting to embrace today. There is a leadership deficit in today's world and history tells us that there are only two most efficient ways to train a good leader-either through mentoring or adversity. How do we pass on our legacies to the next generation in an era of peace such as ours where leadership qualities like integrity are not valued?

In my quest to promote mentoring, I will be referencing from Dr. Tim Elmore's book, Life Giving Mentors, which is an incredible library of profound wisdom, rich with resources pertaining to mentoring. All credits of what I am about to share goes to God who enabled Dr. Tim Elmore to write such an excellent, modern piece of work.
