SWS: Mentors

Something Worth Sharing

Oprah made this statement on TV several years ago, but I heard it for the first time today.

"We are all mentors to people, even when we don't know it."
-Oprah Winfrey

So here's the "so what?" of this quote. If we are all mentors, are we being good or bad mentors? Are we being a positive or a negative force in our world? Since "actions speak louder than words", what might others learning from our actions, regardless of our intentions?
