Struggling Lawyers, coming from poor families, type their cases also to save money.

I remember a small portable Ramington typewriters.

In early years of practice, it was difficult to survive. Small cases and small fees.

I used to type my cases on small typewriter at home. This saved money which I may have to otherwise pay to typist.

After marriage, my wife also used to help me in typing.

The days changed. Prosperity came. Now two to three typists do the job.

Recently, I met a junior advocate. He had come from some state to practice in Supreme Court. Here he could not find placement.

So he hid fact of advocacy. And sought employment as a computer typist. He soon got job.

After some years, when he had become indispensable to his employer lawyer, he disclosed his identity of advocate.

Now he is working in his office as Advocate.

Point: Junior lawyers have to pass struggling period. Nothing to be ashamed of in typing cases. One can earn and learn.

A person who knows his work has hardly any free time

I read above sentence in a book by Henry Ford.

It means that if you have time, than probably you have not mastered your work probably. You probably do not know your work well. You have yet to learn many things of your trade.

Emerson also said similar thing. He said, if you can make a very good mouse trap, people will make a path to your door even if you may be living in deep jungle.

This principle applies in so many professions and trade.

Story of a DUMB beggar who used to beg only at night #India #Compassion #Poverty

This is from my childhood memories. We lived in Junagadh in Gujarat.

Every night at about 10 pm, a beggar used to come in street. He could not speak. So he used to make a strange loud noise from his throat for begging purpose.

The people used to give him left over food. He used to collect this left over food from houses and used to feed his family.

The strange noise he used to make from his throat left impression on my memory.

Thereafter, in Ahmedabad or Delhi, I have not seen such beggars who come at night to collect excess and left over food.

I think now people throw away excess and left over food or they pass them in drain.
