You prepare yourself, move
everything out of the way and design your entire day keeping in mind one
important task. Then as you are all set to perform the task you come to know that it has been postponed. I don’t about all of you but I get a headache to have all my
energies wasted for nothing.
Throughout the afternoon I was
feeling terrible because I missed out a meeting. Just few minutes earlier I
took a tiny pinch of salt, ate a fruit, rolled the golf ball between both my
palms (to activate pressure points on my hands) and to my surprise the
intensity of headache is significantly reduced. Now I merely have a little
sensation on the forehead and that is bearable. I guess the sodium and chloride
in salt balanced the electrolytes of my brain. Anyways the task left out today
is planned for tomorrow and I hope that it goes well.
(People suffering from
hypertension should consult their physician first if they can have tiny pinch
of salt occasionally for serious headaches or migraines).
It is strange when few months ago
someone told me to come out of my creative zone
and look at my law practice as a commercial enterprise. With all the
creative or ideological views I have about my work there is a commercial to
aspect of my practice, he said.
He further contended his stance by
saying that it should be dealt like business because the rules are same. There
is a product (my legal services), there is a target market for the product. Finally
there is marketing of the product leading to sales and consequently earning of
profits.
He said even if someone is a
painter or designer or belonging to any other form of creativity unless their
products are sold and profits are made there is no point to it.
Many of my senior lawyers
wouldn’t approve this kind of commercialized view about their work though. Yet
whatever that person said does make sense at some level and gives an entirely
new perspective of law practice. Frankly I never thought like this before and I
still struggle a bit to fully absorb this view.
It is good to have diverse
outlooks on a subject some of them could be enlightening.
Tomorrow is another day so I now
take your leave….
Good Night!
Sonya. (Day 241)
