Thoughts of Music - Episode 8: Why We Should Seek Heroes, Not Mentors

What’s the difference? 

Heroes inspire us to follow our own path. Mentors tell us which path to take. When you follow a mentor, you do what they do. When you follow a hero, you do as they do. And to bring the point home even further: One gives you a map to follow, the other allows you to create and revise your plan as you go along.
