What friends do we need?

我们需要什么朋友？

A Wise Mentor

睿智的导师

Jesse Jackson once said, "Never look down on someone unless you're helping them up". If you have someone smart,inspiring, and admirable in your life who practices this philosophy, you're extremely lucky. We all need a friend who inspires us to be better people without making us feel in adequate. Plus, being around such a person will challenge us to better ourselves every day.

杰西-杰克逊曾经说过，“永远不要瞧不起别人，除非你在帮助他们。” 如果你的生活中有聪明灵巧、鼓舞人心、令人钦佩的人正在实践这一理念，那你就相当幸运了。我们都需要朋友鼓舞我们来让我们变得更好，而不是让我们感到不足。另外，和这样的人待在一起，每天都会让我们变得更加出色。

The wise mentor in your life doesn't have to besomeone who shares the sameoccupation or hobbies with you. It's simply someone who's a few steps ahead of you in life and has enough wisdom and patience toguide you in the right direction. It can be anyone — a colleague, a friend who's beyond their years, or an older neighbor — as long as you look up to this person and want to be more like them.

生活中的睿智导师并不一定要和你有着相同的职业或习惯。只要他/她在生活中比你领先了几步，并拥有足够的智慧和耐心引导你朝着正确的方向前进，就可以是你的导师。导师可以是任何人——同事、比自己大好多年的朋友、或是老邻居——只要你朝这个人看齐，并更想像他们一样。
