From my deductions so far, i'd like to say that to be a lwayer is tough. To be a successful lawyer or one who has high aspirations in life,is even tougher. If you do aspire success ( of course the definition of succes being subjective to each person ) , you've got to start from your uni course.You need to plan even now for your future. And need i add that you've got to plan ruthlessly? And participate ruthlessly towards you goal. Participate and participate and participate.
One of your most important skills, * and i kid you not * is TALKING,TALKING AND TALKING. No matter how good you are in your books, without the gift of the gab,you are nothing in this arena. Participate in lectures,participate in the mooting society, participate in the lexicon,participate in the Law Debate 2006, participate participate participate.To ensure participation, we are "threatened" sweetly to think of our future CV's. Resumes and CV's are all i hear about whenever a lecturer promotes something. And grudgingly we all rush to participate because it is undeniable that in a course like law, proof of your skills is important. Another boon would be the prizes that comes with it ..scholarships, book prizes,chambering prizes with prestigious law firms like Shearn & Delamore, Zul Rafique etc etc.
All this is undeniably interesting and appealing,not to mention challenging-which makes it even more worth the while. But another fact that you cannot forget is that you have to be very independent and strong.In every aspect of your life (in this case,mine) be it emotionally,physically and mentally. So it will be tiring. Very tiring.The pressure added with the emo trauma i'll have to go through for my future will bring me down.
But i have one very very very large consolation.
At least when i am down and nobody's around, i will still have someone with me and that's my God. He will hold me in his arms be there for me and hide me in his wings and let me cry my heart out. :) So for that im grateful. For in Him,we can do anything! XD Well, im done summarizing all the major things that has happened in my week, and im through venting, so adieu peeps,till next week!
yourstrulyme! ;)
