Abstract

This paper is an attempt to show-case the potency of mentorship in the attainment of success by an individual, group of individuals, or society. It tries to argue that success is a universal value which path to attainment begins with the individual. It argues that the individual’s will and passion serve as a driving force for the attainment of success. Such a force, though self-inspired, is activated by the instant environment through socialization, schooling, and mentorship. Its beliefs that, though schooling maybe a potent factor in skills acquisition, mentorship tend to be a more potent and viable route to achieving success, as it combines the goal of transferring skills with the development or arousal of a passionate desire zeal and willingness through, instilling a positive self-worth and attitude in the mentee. The paper believes that, as important as mentorship is, it is limited in its bid to achieving success all by itself. Success as a value, though universal, varies in its measures. To succeed in life therefore, requires a combination of multivariate factors one of which is mentorship.
