The One With Mentor 

No its not regarding TV3 reality show 'Mentor' (I dunno wat that show was about, ok).. I was reading a book at MPH OU the other day.. one of a few books that wasnt in plastic wrap.. I dont know since when they start to wrap all technical books.. it was about - quick guide to be a better consultant (or something like that)..

So some few tips that i can remember are :

1. One of the greatest sin for a consultant is to give what customers want, and not what they actually need.. (but, customer is always right maaa..) NOTTTT!!!!! Customer is always wrong :P
2. Over deliver and under promise
3. Get yourself a mentor

Well the 3rd one was damn important i think.. when I was working in my first company, I had few good mentors.. they all were good teachers and good friends too.. then when i moved to 2nd company.. it was more a lone ranger job.. I couldnt find a mentor nor being one.. I could only stay for a year.. (which I think good enuff.. I heard my replacement survived only for 3 months.. :)) ).. then I moved again to this company.. Where I was introduced to a better mentor..

Too bad after a year and a half, he told me he's leaving back to his country.. He's been here for few years and its time to move on..

And that made me think.. to move along, or start to grab this opportunity to fill in his shoes.. which apparently is quite a large one.. Hmmm.. i still dunno.. just wait and see..
