On Opportunity
A good friend of mine once told me that hitting the ball into the sand trap on the golf course should be looked at in one way, and one way only: an opportunity — an opportunity to get better at something that you may not excel at, but nonetheless must be able to master to become great.
Opportunities abound. Everyone, regardless of profession, has opportunities to do something in this world that is important. The problem as I see it, is that all too often people are too afraid to see the opportunities in front of them. They figure their ball went into the bunker, and they have no way to get out.
As practitioners of the law, we have a very unique opportunity to help people.
