MENTORS ROLE IN KNOWING THYSELF & PLAYING VARIOUS ROLES

"To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom." This famous quote is often attributed to Socrates. But what exactly do you know when you “know yourself?” The meaning of thyself is yourself. Know thyself means knowing and being aware of one's own personality traits, characteristics and habits with a self-introspective attitude. For this, one needs to pay attention to his or her own personality traits and examine the Lion's Share traits in specific situations so as to identify them as his or her characteristics. However, the process of introspection must be done genuinely, with an ideology and open thought process without any self-deception. Only after a genuine thinking process the characteristics are explored and will be understood by oneself. This thought process in exploring one's self is known as know thyself. This paper focuses on how to introspect and what are the parameters that could be used to judge oneself. Especially, the learning consultants after knowing of their own potential as mentors will be beneficial and are useful traits which could be applied in class room teaching in order to reach the learners' community. Hence, our paper focuses how to introspect oneself under the tag of Know Thyself and how their attributes can be turned over to enrich the class room teaching with quality. It is undoubtedly accepted that know Thyself is very useful and helpful to teachers or mentors as they directly deal with the public. The impact and influence of mentors is very high on the learners' community compared to other people as they are like role models to the learners. Hence, the mentor should know himself first and should adopt such characteristic features if he or she finds as there is a need to stand as a role model to the students. This paper analyses the technique of Knowing oneself and gives an extract on the need of multifaceted attributes of a teacher so as to transform the class rooms into the most useful and result oriented centers.
