  1. Its funny. Never give up. Thats my Mantra. I got it from my Father by observation. I remembered that when he started something like trying to fix a broken door, he would not stop until it was done. This stuck with me. What I didnt see was that he was inherently lazy and he rarely put his mind to anything. I didnt notice this. I like the hero in the above story, had law set for me by my father. I stuck it out trying to get into law school. It was hard. I didnt get into law school where I lived but I would not let this stop me. I got into a law school far far away from home. You dont want to do this because you have to come back and take the bar where you live and its tough doing this as you will not have taken any number of courses in your home state, like divorce. I was all alone for the first time in my life, thousands of miles away from home. I didnt realize that this was the old time law school in which they tried to flunk you out. My first year was hell but I had a serious girl friend which was a big help in getting through. this turned into a big liability when over the summer she dumped me and worse got serious with the guy she dumped me for. It affected my studies and performance. I was on probation and if it happened again I was done. I could not live with this. It was grim. But I would not let myself fail. I would not give up. Just like my father and the guy in the story I muddled through. I passed the bar and got a job in government as an attorney but there were malevolent people that I worked with and for who tried to get me fired or to quit. Again, I would not give up or give in. And at the end after 33 years of practice I retired. I felt an incredible sense of accomplishment and confidence in myself and all because I would not give up or give in. Failure was a word I did not know. I won by surviving and not failing. I know it sound negative but it was not as I succeeded. Michael Jordan , the GOAT in basketball was the same way, surprisingly!!! He never said Im going to bury you or make you look bad as you would expect a big success to say. No. He told his opponents. "You are not going to beat me, never!" You cant beat me. I wont let you. Think on that. You win by not being beat or failing. Just my two cents.
