\u201cSuccess is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.\u201d<\/h1>\n

These wise words came from Bill Gates<\/a>, a person that needs no further introduction, somebody who had helped to change the world that we live in today over the past 20-30 years. How does this line of wisdom impacted me ? Well, simply, as I started moving into the arena of teaching and mentoring, with the confidence, skills and experiences in the field, it would be an easy trap into<\/p>\n

2010 has been earmarked as my year of mentoring friends and in 1 field of my skill and expertise, I took up the challenge with pride and honour, accepting students in photography, from a National Youth Achievement Award candidate to friends who recently entered into DSLR. Till date, I would have 4 students \ud83d\ude42 However, that does not mean that I know everything in photography yet, now I am exploring lomography, studio lighting and portraiture photography. Besides that, I have helped out with junior photographers that just entered the industry.<\/p>\n

What other areas have I been involved in mentoring ?<\/p>\n

– Blogs setup and advisory , SEO, Social Media<\/p>\n

– Blog shop setup and advisory, internet marketing<\/p>\n

When I stepped into this arena, it’s not daunting, it’s like a pilgrimage, a journey of an entrepreneur, Pay It Forward, Helping and teaching people, sharing the skills and knowledge. By transferring, teaching, guiding and mentoring, I will bring my current skills and knowledge to the next higher level too !<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
