In the religious field, where the word is most commonly used, a guru is a Hindu religious teacher. So a priest or any person learned in Hindu lore may be a guru. The main purpose of the guru is to teach. (Source: What is a Guru? )

Personally, I don't believe in so-called "gurus" - whether they're self-proclaimed or anointed. Never have. But I do believe in teachers and mentors.

I will respectfully disagree with you.  I believe very strongly in mentors.  If you don't take millionaires to lunch, how can you become one?

Before you respectfully disagree, you should take the time to read my entire article. Obviously, you haven't done that, because if you had, you'd know that my article praises and defends good gurus - those that give back.

There is a chinese saying, "For every three persons, one of them can become my teacher." What it means is that everyone has some good points or strength for you to learn about, it is all up to your choice.

So it is important for one to observe other people's strength and learn from them. One can be weaker than you in certain areas, but strong enough in some other areas to be your teacher.
