I remember my goddess Ma Weiwei once said a word on the program A Wonderful Story to the effect that telling one's own experience can often arouse people's condemnation in the debate field, but I never tell one's own experience, because everyone's environment, experience and experience are different, and other people's life experiences and choices can't and can't be used as the guidance of one's own life. I want to make a comprehensive consideration and make a judgment according to my actual situation.
I agree with this sentence, but other people's experiences can inspire and think. Therefore, if my experience, feelings and attitude can give you some inspiration, that is enough, which is also my original intention and wish.
The First Transformation —— On-the-job Preparation for Judicial Examination
The word "fear is fear of seriousness" in the world, and so is China's first test. Speaking of preparing for the college entrance examination, I didn't have such a noble reason to be a lawyer to do justice at first? No.
The main reasons why I made up my mind to take the exam at that time were: 1, no money; 2. If you stay any longer, it will be ruined (people who have been in government agencies must know).
From the moment I made up my mind, my restless heart was completely activated. When my family learned that I was going to take the exam, Qi Xin firmly believed that I would fail. Why bother? Such cold water didn't change my decision.
I'm sure I'll get in, so naturally I don't have the confidence to talk so big. But my simplest idea at that time was to try my best to prepare for the exam, but I can't take it again until I pass the exam next year. The worst time is now, and it can be worse than now, and it will be earned in the future.
In this way, I spent the most substantial, unforgettable and proud three months in my life. At that time, my goal was clear, that is, to be admitted. Because it is the first time to take the exam, I have no experience and no money to enroll in the class. For on-the-job staff, the biggest challenge is how to be self-disciplined and arrange time reasonably to prepare for such a long exam. For me who wanted to change at that time, my inner determination was my great motivation.
Regarding study, I use the most stupid but practical method: spend enough time. The average working day is 6 hours, and the average weekend is 10 hours.
In this way, you can listen to each audio courseware twice, do real questions at least three times in the first five years, then do sprint exercises, and get up at 5: 30 every day for three months to recite the first book. Any exam has a key point, so it should be no problem to grasp the key point, review and consolidate it repeatedly, practice deliberately, ensure that the key point does not lose points, and then expand it appropriately.
It is this determination not to flinch or hesitate, such as the belief that we will fight again if we lose the first world war, and we will not give ourselves a chance to fail the exam for our own reasons. In the end, I passed the judicial examination with a score of 465,438+05, which was unexpected but reasonable.
During the preparation, I seem to be very happy now. It was because of those years that I saw many possibilities in life. If some of my confidence in my future life comes from those years. Thank you for that selfless time, which makes me still passionate in retrospect! Toss, just to live up to this life, toss well, just to live up to yourself.
When you really decide to do something, the actual situation is much easier than you think.
Enter the law firm-everything has just begun.
After entering the law firm, I really found that the exam is the easiest step in the long March. Excellent platform and excellent colleagues make me deeply feel my own shortcomings. Here, you are not thinking about economic pressure, but how to make yourself progress faster. At the same time, you will find that when you really decide to do something, the actual situation is much easier than you think.
During my internship, I had a brother who followed the guidance lawyer for five years. He is a master of Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics. He can be independent and responsible, and it is common to handle his work until two or three in the middle of the night. Master likes it, too. In my eyes, he is very good. Compared with me at that time, I was new here, I didn't know anything, I was under great pressure, and I was particularly lost. People who are better than you are more diligent than you, so you have no right not to work hard.
I quickly adjusted my mentality, thanking for working and studying in such an environment, doing business with excellent people and learning from excellent people; Do your own thing. Compared with yourself, every day is progress. Take your time, it's faster. As a popular saying last year said: You must work hard, but don't worry.
After that, I handled litigation and non-litigation cases with my mentors and brothers in a down-to-earth manner, including general business such as traffic accidents and personal injury compensation, intellectual property business such as trademarks, copyrights and patents, and investment and financing business such as equity and private placement, with a wide range of business. In addition, some legal advisers followed closely.
In addition to learning from mentors and seniors, I also strengthened my study and passed the qualifications of securities, intellectual property rights and funds. Once you settle down and do something, the world will open the door for you.
I gradually gained self-confidence and improved greatly in all aspects compared with when I first entered the law firm. I often receive legal advice and sporadic cases from my friends, and solving problems for my friends through my professional services has also given me great motivation and satisfaction.
The second transformation-entering the company internship
20 16 I left the law firm and entered the company as an intern. Relatively speaking, the time is looser than that of a law firm. For someone who can't afford to be idle, I started tossing again. This year, I didn't plan or think of reading, writing, opening WeChat official account, headline number, and insisting on memorizing words.
In my opinion, nothing or work exists in isolation, but interacts with each other. The knowledge and experience of other industries will also bring different ideas and experiences to the present work. Therefore, more experience is wealth.
Along the way, although many choices were not made by myself, I was trying my best to do what I wanted and thought I should do. Toss all the way, love yourself all the way.
Be a lawyer or go to the company to do business?
Because of my experience as a lawyer and legal work, many people ask me, do you think it is better to be a lawyer or to do things well? It seems that the answers of people who have been there have the effect of a panacea and can cure diseases. In fact, no matter how I answer, you have to struggle. What's more, everyone's situation, experience and ideas are different, so it's hard to say what to do in general.
The reason why most people are entangled is nothing more than wanting everything. You want to stabilize a decent income and practice the development prospects; I want people around me to appreciate your dependence on you. I want to realize my personal value and get a sense of accomplishment. You are too greedy! If you fall into this vicious circle of self-contradiction for a long time, you will only lose more than you gain.
From my personal experience, my career choice is not that I actively plan and work towards it, but that I passively choose, accept it frankly and try my best according to the actual situation. Coase entered the law firm because he had neither money nor hope. From law firm to company, it is also a choice made after comprehensive consideration because of some practical situations. None of these choices were planned in advance, and I never thought about leaving the law firm before I decided to go into business. The so-called plan can't keep up with the changes is a good proof for me.
Your entanglement shows that whether consulting others or thinking for yourself, you have thoroughly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of lawyers and legal affairs according to your own situation, but no one can fully convince yourself, which is the root of your entanglement.
When something appears that you can't stand completely and have to change, it's when you know how to choose. You need time to tell you the answer.
No matter what decision you make, you should consider the present and follow your heart.
