Re: Mentoring

The pamphlet isn't published yet, I'm still working on it - I've only put the translations up on the web, and wrote a couple of articles.

And.... there's a significant difference between showing a friend how to do something in a casual setting and 'taking on a mentoring relationship.' The latter implies setting yourself up as someone's superior and advisor, which I'm *extremely* leery of doing.

Though, to be honest, I still feel that you really ought to be an expert before taking on the task of teaching. Otherwise, how do you know that what you're teaching them isn't wrong?
