審慎接受一名學徒

能夠成為導師是榮譽的。但是，你不可能將每個年輕人都納入你的羽翼之下。

問以下三個問題來決定你是否要接受一名學徒：

1. 這名學徒的企圖心如何？評估一下這名學徒想要成功的企圖心有多大。 如果你想要有成功的導師關係，他必須有企圖心，可以受到激勵。
2. 距離成功目標有多遠？這門學徒目前的經歷資質與他想要達到的目標，距離有多遠？你也許必須考慮安排一名中繼者，在你接手為導師前，先補上這個差距。
3. 我有足夠的經驗與時間嗎？確認你有足夠的知識與時間來指導。

Accept an apprentice cautiously

It is honorable to become a mentor. But you can't put every young person under your wings.

Ask the following three questions to decide if you want to accept an apprentice:

1. What is the ambition of this apprentice? Assess how ambitious the apprentice wants to succeed. If you want to have a successful mentoring relationship, he must be ambitious and motivated.
2. How far is it from success? What is the distance between the apprenticeship's current qualifications and the goals he wants to achieve? You may have to consider arranging a relay to fill the gap before you take over as a mentor.
3. Do I have enough experience and time? Make sure you have enough knowledge and time to guide.
