My classmate looked down on me for dropping out of law school. One day, I ran into him.

[@shepardsmith3235]

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.

Great Story! I really enjoyed it. Thank you!❤

[@hidesertmusic]

I’d watch a lot more of these videos if they were on 15 minutes long. The point could be made with less inconsequential information.

[@acedeklyn8007]

Lol so true

[@carolynjoyner7695]

You’re right, but I will also add that the cats antics don’t have anything to do with the story line and aren’t necessary. But then what would be, story line and computer verbage is boring.

[@JosephineJames-x7b]

I so agree

[@JudeNance]

I can't change the world but I can change where it comes out from me. I can't help what someone else thinks about me 🎉

[@PlaneManHehehe]

I've dealt with a lot of lawyers and I've never seen one with a badge

[@claverhouse1]

Been in a lot of courts in India, have you?

[@greatgreyowl2583]

Only once have any of these stories that I have heard has the term "remarry" correctly. and this is not it.

[@littleflame5530]

Obviously, this is not in the states. Manadatory k-12. And school is relatively free unless you go to a private school.

[@belindacampbell8094]

What happened after the party? How come he was told not to come back? Why did Steven get mad? Why was his wife laughing?

[@violetnewell5076]

I guess she laughed because Steve was taught a lesson. I wonder if he's a control freak and they eventually divorce and Mike and the ex wife got together. We need part 2😂

[@OuryLN]

You’re trying to hypnotize us with cats

[@RobertAnderson-xp4mo]

Strange ending.

[@Griz5340]

Agree, Dr. Gumby and his 30-40 min message turn me off. 10 min i’m in. No time for blah blah blah

[@TD402dd]

It was suppose to be "I" "V" drips (Intravenous). Real is pronounced reel. The story got a bit sloppy at the end, but overall it was outstanding. This could be expanded into a novella easily.

[@littleflame5530]

I speed up to the point of the story.

[@Tuberesu]

What the heck is this half hour of drivel about? It isn't worth going past the first 30 seconds.

[@beerancher3225]

Utter garbage .

[@DianeOlson-b3v]

I've read a few of these. After a few readings, it seems to me, none of this is true. This is only for the clicks.

[@helen3652]

Please remove the cat background

[@littleflame5530]

AI its I vee. And real is pronounced reel not ree ahl.

[@thomasboney387]

Pathetic story of a third world country.😂😂😂
