Today, in the United States, we remember the fallen in war. It is a day of peace and quiet in most of the USA.
In that light, I was reading one of my first unpublished draft blogs and my first reflection was, why was I so strongly opinionated – almost angry. That was over 2 months ago and I knew less than I thought I knew about the legal profession. I had great ideas, vision and strong opinions. All good for blogging – so I’m told.
My first impression was glad I didn’t publish that! My second immediate reflection was how much easier it was to be angry when I’m ignorant. I was capable of quicker reactions of anger when I was younger when I had less knowledge. By knowledge I’m not referring to technology’s interpretation of more data, but more understanding. I am still advised to speak with a stronger voice in my blog and get more readers – standout more – but I find it as futile as shooting myself in the foot to get your attention.
As I learn more I am more patient and understanding. As I listen more, I am more tolerant and kind – specially to myself. Let’s have a great week. 🙂
