Do You Have a Favorite Teacher or Mentor in Your Life?

One of the keys to great learning is to have a great mentor. These people are not only good role models and someone who always roots for your growth; they must also possess excellent vision, knowledge, and morals.

Qui-Gon Jinn may be a fictitious character, but he had all these characteristics that made him a great mentor to Obi-Wan Kenobi and, in a way, to us as well. For one, he taught us that we don’t always have to conform to the rules if they don’t align with what’s right or moral. There are times that what we believe to be true goes against society, but don’t be afraid to voice out what you think is right.

It will be challenging, but we should not turn a blind eye to justice and the right choices. If we’re patient and stay true to what’s good, we’ll eventually meet people who share the same beliefs as ours.

With that, we hope that this collection was able to help you gain the courage to stand firm with your beliefs. Doing the right thing will never be easy, but it’s what will help us lead a more meaningful life.

Poetry, philosophy, history, and movies are all topics I love writing about! However, my true passion is in traveling, photography, and finding common ground to which everyone from different cultures can relate.

With the many places I’ve been to, I found that love, inspiration, and happiness are some things that bring people together. No matter how different we are on the outside, I’m a true believer that our emotions don’t lie; if you dig deep into our psyche, we’re all the same inside.

This belief was further amplified when I joined Quote Ambition. Through the quotes I’ve read, collected, organized, and written about, I found that humans are resilient, creative, and compassionate.

We take from each others’ hearts and courage, and it’s through our individual experiences that we learn how to rise above our challenges and pain. In so many ways, Quote Ambition is a platform that allows people from all over the world to gain the inspiration they need anytime, anywhere!
