Bears and Rabbits: Why mentors are important

As I discovered just today, in discussion with the best study advisor in the world, mentors are truly important in life.
  You can learn from them, they can guide you ... as long as you are compatible and have developped a mutual liking.

This brings me back to the beggining of my study, to a story about the Rabbit who did a MSc (PhD) thesis.
The Rabbit is writing a Thesis on "The Wolf is a jackass". All the animals in the forest are totally scared and advise the Rabbit to quit that particular thesis title and get a new one. But the Rabbit insists and is stubborn.
  The Fox, upon hearing it from the Rabbit, runs to the Wolf and tells him. Wolf, all enraged at the repulsive thesis title, rushes to the Rabbit and shouts at him, what does he think he is and that he'll eat him straight away (to show he's not a jackass).
  Out from the bushes behind the Rabbit steps a huge bear. And the wolf all of the sudden, has no quarrel with the Rabbit anymore.
  Moral of the story is: It doesn't matter what the Thesis Title/Topic is, what matters is who is your supervisor.
