my best mentors are people who happened to be a little ahead of me and were mature enough to embrace openness. or they were people tons ahead of me specifically looking to mentor. the one thing they all had in common was not viewing me as any less capable or able, just less experienced.<p>i'm as interested in answers to your questions as you are...cus i don't know have i've found mentors. lucky. it helps to be open yourself and respect what others can teach or share.
