How do young lawyers realize their dreams
? —— Talk between Chief Lawyer Wang Weizhou and young lawyers at the regular meeting of Wandian Law Firm in February 1 1.
I don't know if you have noticed. After working for a period of time, people around you are actually changing themselves silently, especially in their thirties. Ten years ago, I worked at the same starting line with my former colleagues and friends. 10 years later, some people became well-known lawyers in China, some became directors of law firms, some held leadership positions in public security law, some were able to be independent, and some were still looking for jobs. Specific to our Wandian Law Firm, some people have become our partners, some have become chief lawyers, some are still in the internship stage, some are still preparing for the judicial examination, and many are peers. Have you found that the gap between people at the same starting line has been quietly opened? Has anyone considered why?
I want to tell you that this is the power of dreams. Everyone should have their own dreams and fight for them. Dreams enable people to make continuous progress through hard work, while people without dreams have been regressing until they are eliminated. The road of life is like sailing against the current. Who doesn't want to have a better life if they don't choose not to advance or retreat? Don't want to be able to feed back your parents? Who doesn't want to help their brothers and sisters? And all this needs to be built on the premise of self-realization. Without the improvement of one's own ability, how can there be a substantial increase in wages? Without the responsibility to control risks, who dares to entrust it with a heavy responsibility?
Everyone present here is the backbone of our law firm, and you bear the future and hope of Wandian Law Firm. Today, I want to tell you that in order to realize everyone's dreams, from now on, the law firm will take "improving employees' income level, improving employees' work skills and improving employees' happiness index" as the first task of its development strategy. Why do I say that? Because we are related by blood. The increase of your income means the increase of your unit income, and the improvement of your ability means the improvement of your unit ability. Your happiness index is the spiritual and cultural level of your unit. Since its establishment, our unit has experienced ups and downs and achieved steady growth. Our dream is to become a leader in the real estate field. We plan to expand several professional departments. I hope that the heads of these departments will be present, because you are the reserve force that we have personally trained. Emotionally, I really trust you as much as I care for children, and I trust your ability and responsibility more. Please believe that from today, our unit will be bigger and stronger. 20 17 years, because of my father's physical reasons, I almost had no effective management, but the performance of the law firm has been growing steadily. Why? Because we have made progress on the right track, the firm has gained a stable and mature foundation after ten years of hard work. Now it's time to go straight to Yun Fan, catch up, and show your talents, so we will realize our dreams together in the future.
How do young lawyers realize their dreams? Although I am an unsuccessful eldest brother, I still want to share my feelings:
Confidence?
What do you mean by confident? Believe in yourself. If a person doesn't believe in himself, who can he trust? Zeng Guofan should be familiar to everyone. As a politician and strategist in the late Qing Dynasty, he was a successful man, but Zeng Guofan was actually a plain and mediocre man when he was young. Once a thief came to Zeng Guofan's study. At this time, Zeng Guofan happened to come back and hide under the bed. Zeng Guofan went into the study and began to recite an article. He didn't recite it all night. The thief under the bed couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and recited the article by heart. Say that finish, thief laughs: I hear you know, but you haven't read it. "It is such a clumsy person who still believes in himself and still achieves brilliant success with his own efforts. What reason do we smart people have not to believe in ourselves? We don't want to be great heroes, we just want to be successful lawyers. What can't we do?
plan
Dreams can't be achieved overnight, and the process of realizing dreams must have clear steps and methods.
So everyone should make plans for self-realization. Why do some people pass the judicial examination in college, and some people start preparing for war after work? This is the reason why there is no plan. If you don't do it, you will be at least two or three years behind. How many years are there in your life? Therefore, everyone must be good at planning. The road of life, a case, and a day's work arrangement all need planning. After accepting a case, everyone sat down and thought it over, arranged a plan, and proceeded in a circular and orderly manner. Or come up here and punch aimlessly? Is it more efficient to sum up your gains and achievements every night and arrange tomorrow's work plan? So everyone should make a good plan for each stage and work hard to achieve it. If you persist in this way, one day you will suddenly find yourself getting closer and closer to your dream, and your dream will come true soon.
make an effort
A dream without struggle is a dream. Throughout ancient and modern China and foreign countries, any successful person is self-presented, even those who are the second generation and the second generation, but only from a higher starting point. If they don't persist in their struggle, their success will not last long, and how many grassroots people have achieved themselves through struggle? Ma Yun subsidizes the company by selling socks. They 18-year-old King Kong have been struggling for the dream of building a great company, but we ordinary people regard them as crazy fools, not to mention the sweat and tears during the period. Please believe that heaven rewards diligence, and your efforts will be rewarded. Success belongs to those who are willing to struggle. Even if you don't get direct material wealth, your sweat will bring you professional skills and experience. What is the core competition in today's era? Talent, so the law firm must adhere to the people-oriented principle and give full play to everyone's strengths. Only if you have an advantage, we will give you the greatest chance.
habit
Wang, a famous athlete, summed up his successful experience and said: Success is a habit.
I'm used to it. I quite agree. If you stick to a good habit, in order to solve many trivial things, such as our case file management, you will do a good job of hierarchical classification and case progress table. You can do it every minute when you look up a material, but you don't do a good job of hierarchical classification. Every time you find a material, you need to look through countless materials. Are you tired and slow, and the habit of persistence will make you unconsciously deal with all the problems in your daily life? In a decisive battle, you will get twice the result with half the effort. On the contrary, people without good habits will accumulate countless trivial things over time, and these trivial things will break out one day, drag you down, or consume more energy, make you get twice the result with half the effort, and even lead to your failure. Are some people's myopia and cervical pain caused by bad habits? Did you learn a lot of knowledge and experience during your work?
Therefore, everyone must develop good living and working habits and bad customer service habits, which is very beneficial to work and health.
outside force
Gentleman's nature is the same, and goodness is empty of things. Everyone can't do everything,
To succeed, you must know how to use the resources around you. Listening to you is better than studying for ten years. This old saying should be familiar to everyone. Today's society is an era of knowledge explosion. There are too many lectures and meetings, and successful people are happy to share their experiences and feelings. Most of the audience are playing mobile phones. In fact, there is still a lot to learn from selectively listening to other people's experiences. In addition, if you don't understand or don't understand, you should ask the old lawyer for advice. Applying their experience directly to their own work is very different from crossing the river by feeling the stones, which is equivalent to taking the high-speed train and driving. People who take the high-speed train can reach their destination conveniently and quickly, while drivers are tired and arrive late.
In addition, media resources and case resources are also very important. Looking at Beijing, how many famous lawyers started their careers on major cases? Gao Zicheng, Qian Lieyang and Zhang Sizhi are too numerous to mention. We should take some major, complicated and even sensitive cases as opportunities for challengers. The focus of controversy is often the focus of media attention and social attention. You, me and him, no one knows our name except people we know, but only through our cases and articles we published can we see our views and abilities.
Let's call it a day. We are all on the same starting line now. I suggest that we make an agreement to see who is the hero and who will be eliminated in five or ten years.
