A personal mentor is like a personal trainer -- someone who can give you objective and personalized help to make you better.
個人導師就像私人教練一樣，可以給你提供客觀且個性化的幫助，讓你變得更優秀。
A good mentor is usually someone who knows something about your job and company, but need not be an expert. A mentor shouldn't be your direct manager or in your line of management, because that may create a conflict of interest for him/her. And a mentor should be more senior than you, but not by too much. Someone who is about two promotions higher is ideal. A mentor who is not senior enough may not be able to take a step back and see the forest and not just the trees. But a mentor who is too senior may not be able to step into your shoes and see things they way you do.
一個好的導師往往對你的工作和公司有很好的認識，但不必是這方面的專家。導師不一定是你的直屬上司，因為這樣會有利益沖突。導師的職位最好高于你，但不要相差太多，比你高出兩級的領導是比較理想的選擇。如果導師的級別不夠高，他們就有可能看得不夠遠，容易只見樹木不見森林。相反，導師的級別如果太高，那么他們也不太容易站在你的立場來看問題。
There are three types of mentors (or the "three C's):
下面是三種不同類型的導師：
1.Comforter -- A person you call when you're having trouble. A good comforter would lend you a sympathetic ear (and occasionally a shoulder to cry on). But he/she would help you see the silver lining in a dark cloud, and also cheer you up and give you confidence and hope.
1.安慰型：你可以在遇到困難時給此類導師打電話。他們會同情地傾聽你訴苦，有時候也會借個肩膀給你來哭。但更重要的是，他們能幫助你在困難中找到解決問題的方法，并鼓勵你，給你信心和希望。
2.Clarifier -- A expert at analyzing and problem-solving. A good clarifier will ask questions, listen, ask more questions, help develop multiple solutions, and finally help you pick one. A really good clarifier should get you to a point where you can pick the solution without help, and also learn how to problem-solve for yourself the next time.
2.解決型：這類導師是分析問題、解決問題的專家。他們會問你問題，傾聽你的回答，再問你更多的問題，然后幫你建立多種不同的解決方案，最后幫你挑選出最適合的一個。一個真正好的解決型導師會指導你如何在沒有幫助的情況下自己想出解決方案，并教會你下次遇到問題時，如何自己來解決。
3.Confronter -- When you are complacent, lazy, or afraid, you need a confronter to challenge and push you, and remind you of your commitments. Good confronters are tough and not always pleasant, but they are particularly important for those of us who lack discipline or courage.
3.鞭策型：當你自滿、懶散或害怕時，這類導師就會來鞭策你、推動你，并告訴你你的目標。他們往往很嚴厲，不太溫和，但是對于那些缺乏自律和勇氣的人來說，這類導師相當重要。
