Bamboo Tree Principle of Success - Particularly in Independent Legal Practice
1) After a Bamboo tree is planted, there are no visible signs of progress for five years. You continue to water this plant daily but it shows no sign of growth. After five years, within short span of three weeks, it rises more than 15 feet.
Legal profession, independent legal practice follows same rule. For five years, there may be days of struggle but then fruits begin to come after five years. Clients from unknown direction begin to pour in.
If you want instant gratification, try to find a job in legal profession. If you want to flourish in your independent law practice, remember how bamboo trees grow.
2) Second principle from which I always draw strength is, "Nothing goes in vain in this Universe". Whatever work or labour you do, nothing goes in vain. Someone somewhere gives you credit for your work.
Important : Both these principles pull us away from "Desires for Instant Gratification".
