I’m no Stephen Covey. I suspect that burning inside each employee is an overwhelming ambition to Get Home, Eat Twinkies and Watch Wrestling.
Life’s short. Work is important. If your work is not mainly fun, find a new gig. Work at that. Many, if not most, lawyers, I am convinced, simply don’t even like what they do for a living. They went to college, law school, got married, had kids, some hard knocks.
And then they watched in slow-motion horror while their choices in life hardened around them. Education, and professional schools, are supposed to set you free–not land you in an upper-middle class prison of dashed hopes and failed plans.
Happiness, right? That was the main idea.
