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".

Focus only on these 3 main goals. Other things need to fit somewhere in these three main goals.

Focus only on 3 main goals. Other things need to fit somewhere in these three main goals. 

Goal 1:- "I will learn more so that I can earn more."

Goal 2 :- "I will have one mentor because I have learned that significant progress is not possible without one mentor. I know the story of Nikola Tesla and Edison. I have read "My Inventions : Autobiography of Nikola Tesla".

Goal 3 :- "I will focus only on doable things".

I think all other things can be grouped under these three goals.

Judgement M. J. Akbar V/s Priya Ramni. Does this judgement become wrong simply because it mentions incidents from Mahabharat and Ramayan

It does not. 

The key principle is "Look at the context. The context gives meaning. If one statement is taken out of its context and if it is used in another context, the entire meaning changes. 

Here in this judgement, look at the context in which this reference is made : "It is shameful that incidents of crime and violence are happenning in the country were mega epics like Ramayan and Mahabharata are written thousand of years ago" and then he goes describe the issue in those mega epics.

In no way, he is using these parts as "Evidence" are "Support to a finding". 

No faults can be found in the judgement simply on the ground that he referred to mega epics of the India.
