The conference held in Yaoundé on September 8, 2023 was a unique opportunity to address a subject of great importance to anyone wishing to make their way in any area of life. Dr. Raoul Ruben discussed the inescapable necessity of having a mentor. More than a necessity, it's an absolute need.

It's a waste of time to go through life without any role models, without anyone you can identify with, who inspires you and whom you'd like to be like. It's like moving forward without any reference points, and failing to give your dream the power it needs to become a reality as quickly as possible.

Only a mentor can advise you on the path to take, the possible obstacles and the mistakes to avoid. It's a long-term process, nourished not only by your own passion and determination, but also by your ability to build a community and make a name for yourself.
