Sensei

Many people have heard the term sensei in the context of martial arts. Your Karate teacher is your sensei. But if we dissect the Japanese kanji (the symbols), we have sen which means ahead or before, and then sei which is life. So sensei is one who has lived before, who is ahead of you in the journey of life. But a deeper connotation would be:

 One who has experience, who has been through it already
