The best mentors are those who make time regardless of if the world is on fire to help you out. Not many people are willing to do that. When you see that, hold onto it as long as you can because it can go away in an instant. If you are on the other side and now doing the mentoring, you need to make it your highest priority. Pay it forward to others. This is a beautifully put sentiment on appreciating those who didn't have to help, but chose to anyway. It all starts with you simply asking somebody. I asked people out of my league to mentor me and they took it on because I was the first to ask them. Being open to invite others to do the same to you is equally important. There's always something to learn from each person in the world.
