SC judge to Counsel,"Pay attention also to matters where you are paid."

A day in Supreme Court.

The counsel had a great reputation in eyes of the judge.

Because the counsel was devoting a lot of time to social service and was giving free legal services to many needy.

But today, this was a case where he had received fees and yet he had not prepared his case well.

This invited criticism of Supreme Court Judge.

He said to counsel,"Pay attention also to matters where you are paid."

------

Herein, lies a great philosophy of life.

Pay attention also to things for which you are paid

All of us go through our life in accordance with our temperaments.

We pay more attentions to things we love to do.

But this automatically results in less time for doing things for which we are being paid salaries or fees.

The person who pays us salary or fees, have paid it for certain services we promised to him. He expects us to give some attention to his tasks also.

This is a Duty. Moral as well as Contractual.

We do have right to do what pleases us to do.

But we need to pay some attention to tasks for which we are paid.

We have some duty here.



Remember words of this judge.

Pay attention also to things for which you are paid
