Best Advice for Finding Happiness
“Happy lawyers are lawyers who know why they practice and have clear goals for who they want to be as a lawyer and as a person.”
“Until you figure out your goals, what you stand for, what your priorities are it’s very difficult to find happiness, in a way you’ll be lost at sea unsure of where to go.”
