However, this is not true. In
fact, the large majority of lawyers and attorneys work incredibly hard to
secure clients, forge relationships with other attorneys and often without
every receiving a dime.
I can keep in mind when my father
was studying for the Bar examination. He spent hours on hours each night after
he would get home from work, studying at the dining room table. Books thicker
than I would have ever imagined lay sprawled out all over the table printed in
a typeface that I was one time satisfied you would need a magnifying glass in
order to read without getting a headache. In the finish, he wound up
successfully passing the bar examination and now has his own law practice.
Positive, money may have been a motivating factor for him, but more
importantly, he wanted a career alter. He had been making an excellent
six-figure wage with the earlier corporation he worked for, but it wasn't . He
desired to be his own boss.
So often, it is the American
dream to be able to work for ourselves. in this day and age, with the economy
in a recession, people are finding more creative ways to work from home and be
their own supervisor. Granted, there's a number of us who benefit greatly from
going in to an actual workplace with an office because they may lack the
discipline to maintain a regular work schedule otherwise. And while money is
always a motivating factor for all of us (because, face it-we need money to
live), it does not must define us. In a time where so plenty of people are
being laid off from their jobs- jobs and careers that they have held for years-
in lieu of being disappointed or upset, they are happy for the chance to have
some time to figure out what it is that they need to be doing with their life.
Sometimes, in the event you focus
much on money, you tend to lose focus of everything else in your life- or at
least the things that one time were important (I.e. relatives, friends,
additional curricular activities). While it is important to make positive that
you are financially secure, is it so important that your whole life becomes
centered around earning as much money as you can. In lieu, they must discover a
balance between work and play. Think of how much happier kids are. They are constantly
learning and experiencing new things. Then, as soon as they start to get older,
they play less- they experience less. Positive, you may travel every now and
then or go on holiday, but often, they don't even enjoy ourselves as they ought
to because they are worrying about how much money they have left or how much
dinner is going to cost- or those snorkeling lessons that you signed up for.
Re-think how much money it would take for you to be financially secure and then
start focusing on how to enjoy life!
