Join 📚 Edwin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
Your partner’s role is as important as yours, and if you want to keep him or her happy in that role, you need to be realistic about what’s ahead. If you say you need a month to handle your business, handle it in a month. If you need five years, admit it’s going to take five years. Don’t ask for “a couple of months” and then still be absent—physically and/or mentally—ten years later. Be honest: This is going to be hard. It might not be pleasant. I’m doing this for us, and I appreciate what it will cost you. Stick with me. It will be worth it.
I would ask questions. Why am I doing this? Am I doing this just because I have good grades and test scores and because I think it’s prestigious? Or am I doing this because I’m extremely passionate about practicing law? “I think there are good answers, and there are bad answers. And my retrospective on my early 20s is that I was way too focused on the wrong answers at the time.”
