Overview
If your favorite authority figure has ceased to be inspiring or motivating to you, then it's time for you to find a new mentor! There is a good chance that they have gotten a bit lazy about exploring new ideas -- and if so, how are they going to inspire you to do it? Find a person who intimidates you a little bit, whose methods of thinking or working are odd to you. Then observe them for a while and see whether or not they have new things to teach you. They'll be flattered by your attention.
