However, I am also faced with a dilemma now because I have concluded that:

I am NOT apt to be a parent,

YET…

my ultimate end-goal in life is to be a Mentor.

And that is what this article would be all about:

What if you don’t feel apt enough to be a parent but you are determined to be a Mentor?

Could they be mutually exclusive?

I think the dilemma stems from some very obvious common threads between Parenting and Mentoring
