The primary advice given is to "pay it forward"—help others as a way of repaying those who helped you.
Instead of focusing on grand gestures, many suggest acknowledging mentors through simple acts like a thank-you note or a message expressing gratitude for their impact.
Some believe that mentors often act out of kindness without expecting direct reciprocation, and the best form of repayment is to continue their legacy of support through helping others.
Long-lasting impact and meaningful contribution to others' growth are emphasized as ways to honor one's mentors.
Connection and communication with mentors, such as through meetings or messages, is valued for sharing life progress and successes inspired by their guidance.
