Thread : To persuade young #lawyers to sacrifice something in order to get long term benifits.

1/ Are you willing to sacrifice something for a better future? Then the following example may inspire you.

#lawyers #lawstudents #students #lawtwitter

2/ It was around 1991. I was preparing for AOR Supreme Court Exam. It was my first attempt at this exam. I had rented one room at about 200 feet distance away from my house.

In this room, I used to go to read for about 8 hours a day.

I used to study alone.

3/ (In 1975 around, I had picked up a quote from a book, "Isolation and Discipline are essential for progress of an Individual". I used to follow this concept wherever I can.)

4/ There, one day, while sitting alone in that room, I reasoned that If I take a case, it may give me financial support for 2 to 3 months. But if I pass this #exam, it can sustain me for next 25 years.

Then for about next 2 to 3 months, I did not accept any new #cases.

5/ I also avoided going to #SupremeCourt unless it was a must.

I focused fully on my exam.

I sacrificed my short term income of those 2 to 3 months, in order to get long term benifits of next 25 years.

And I succeeded in the exam at first attempt.

6/ I am firm believer of the concept that one has to sacrifice some short term pleasures in order to get some long lasting pleasure.

When I worked on cases of the poor for no fees or for very little fees, I was sacrificing my short term gains in order to learn

7/ and to get experience from those cases for my long term benifits.

Today, if you are looking for some long term achievements, you should first think about your short term pleasures and gains which you are willing to sacrifice.
