On #LawTwitter lots of negativity about lawyering: the hours, the stress, the expectations, etc. We have an amazing job that’s a lot of fun and we make differences in people’s lives (even corporate lawyers). It doesn’t even feel like work most days. We are actually very lucky.

I had lots of different jobs before being a lawyer. I may work weekends and into the evenings as a lawyer. But, I’m never staring at the clock waiting for 5pm. That was torture. Now, there is just never enough time in the day (a problem I prefer).

Keeping a positive attitude, focussing on the rewarding aspects of the profession, and not dwelling on the many minor annoyances is very important to success in this marathon we call practising law.
