I was reading your essay , which
is very skillful, like the the
lawyer is writing a brief….
I am also a lawyer, global and
very international.
Unfurtunatelly, we have to speak
english or other languages perfectly, not like a mathematician or artist which are
speaking a very international languages like Leonardo da Vinci.
But we are the lawyers not artist.
You know, I came to this country
25 years ago, previously I was a
corporate lawyer in Europe….after learn English I went to Hastings law school to get some ideas about US. law.
I never got the job in big law firms due to European accents.
But mostly I missed only one big
think:NOT
MONEY,BUT THE CHRISTMAS PARTIES
IN THE BIG FIRMS!
Well,I would like to talk to you
guys about some oppotunities
if my age is not a disadvantage.
I am in 60 but I am still working
as international business consultant. Of course no such thnik
is a retirement even Jerry Brown
with 73 was fighting for the Job
for Governer of California and
he got this job!!

I really love it what you wrote
and it would be my pleasure to
talk to you in future.

Sincerely yours,

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Shame on the man of cultivated taste who permits refinement to develop into fastidiousness that unfits him for doing the rough work of a workaday world. Among the free peoples who govern themselves there is but a small field of usefulness open for the men of cloistered life who shrink from contact with their fellows. Still less room is there for those who deride of slight what is done by those who actually bear the brunt of the day; nor yet for those others who always profess that they would like to take action, if only the conditions of life were not exactly what they actually are. The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be a cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder. Well for these men if they succeed; well also, though not so well, if they fail, given only that they have nobly ventured, and have put forth all their heart and strength.

Bottom Line: Even if you fail, you failed on your terms and not those of others.
