Lang: Roger Forman, a former boss of mine, once wrote me a letter of recommendation. The first line said, “No matter what office Bob Lang works in, he will never be the best lawyer in that office, but he will leave the biggest hole when he moves on.” That taught me that people in offices have different roles. When I’m working with my interns and law students, I can pick out what role they’ll play in the office after I get to know them a little bit. There’s the academician, the person who loves to do research, the advocate, the one who’s really good at going to court. Another one is the role I was in—which I didn’t know until Roger told me—which was the person who’s the unifier of the team.
Brown: What specific qualities do you look for in young law students and interns?
Lang: I want them to have a good heart. They demonstrate a good heart to me if they have volunteered to help other people on their own time. When we’re dealing with social justice, the clients have had the world dropped on them. I can’t teach anybody how to care about those people—I can teach them the law, but I can’t teach them compassion.
Homer’s The Odyssey chronicles Odysseus’s journey home in the years following the Trojan War. As he is making his way back, the goddess Athena appears to his son, Telemachus, in the form of an old family friend, Mentor, to offer him support and guidance in his father’s absence. Their interactions in The Odyssey represent one of the earliest antecedents of the word mentorship.
华夏文明的顶峰也建立在mentorship, 甚至peer mentorship上，比如商汤，
伊尹，太甲的关系，武王姜尚周公成王的关系，孔子见老子的关系。 当同级恶性竞争成为社会的主旋律，组织已经病态老化； 人类的组织最能应对挑战的理想状态要建立peer cooperation, peer mentoring，平等互尊的环境。

美国建国历史，Ben Franklin, 华盛顿都充当了Mentor的角色，后来的mentees出来又当mentor。 很多做事的底线和互相的默契，代代相传。 最近为了Civic Drama多看了点Ben Franklin的历史。 令人跌破眼镜的是，Ben Franklin自己曾经骂过Cotton Mather, 也被Cotton Mather （involved in notorious Salem Witch Trial）mentor过。
这两位都谋算不全，谁知道呢？
只是做自己力所能及的事情而已。
第二十八章
[原文]
知其雄①，守其雌②，为天下溪③。为天下溪，常德不离，复归于婴儿④。知其白，守其黑，为天下式⑤，为天下式，常德不忒⑥，复归于无极⑦。知其荣⑧，守其辱⑨，为天下谷⑩。为天下谷，常德乃足，复归于朴⑾。朴散则为器⑿，圣人用之，则为官长⒀，故大制不割⒁。
