There has always been a misconception between these two words. People often take mentors for role models.
A mentor knows you and cares about you and tries to help you succeed. There is always a one on one relationship with a mentor.
A role model on the other hand is simply a person you look up to and try to emulate. It is very common for young people to choose role models they have never met and never will meet, simply because in some way they idealize that person's image.
You can never make some one you can't access and have a chat with as your mentor, he/she can only be your role model.
I don't know who your role models are, neither do I know who your mentors are, but they have great tendency of deciding your future.
Most destinies has been chattered by the mistakes of some so called mentors or role models while some has been built for the better in the same process.
Most people has so much believed in their mentors that even when their mentor falls they do the same. Being careful before you choose a mentor or role model is very important.
Of course there were hundreds of great role models out there and there are countless examples of successful thinkers, artists, athletes, singers, writers and more for us to aspire to.
For some reason though these people stood out among the crowd and were the ones that we really took notice of and tried to emulate. Perhaps we sensed a kindred spirit, or perhaps they reminded us of one of our parents.
Either way, once we choose a role model, they become a long – sometimes even lifelong fascination that we would take into adulthood.
Taking a person as a mentor is equivalent to handing over the steering of your life to him because you see him or her as more experienced and knowledgeable than you.
