TO ALL UPCOMING ADVOCATES: The American metaphor "the more you swing, the better your chances of hitting" is often used in the context of baseball to encourage players to be aggressive at the plate and to swing the bat more frequently, with a view of hitting the ball. This metaphor is also applied to other areas of life as a stimulus to encourage one to take action, be consistent or try new things.
To increase your chances of achieving your goals and targets, it is important to take action and try new things on a regular basis. Don't lose hope in difficult situations and stay proactive by seizing every opportunity that comes your way, rather than waiting for things to happen to you. Remember that the more you try and take action, the more likely you are to reach your desired outcomes.
Expand your professional horizon and don’t fall prey to the conservative one-eyed overview of the legal profession. To effectively serve their clients and tackle complex legal issues, lawyers must possess a range of skills and be multi-faceted professionals in today's world. This allows them to provide well-rounded perspectives and insights.
However, it is important to note that, taking action does not necessarily guarantee success. That said, one must strike a balance between being aggressive and being selective to maximise your chances of success. Further, be mindful of the actions you take and make sure that they are well-considered and aligned with your goals or targets.
It is beneficial to seek guidance and advice from more experienced professionals, such as senior advocates, as they can provide valuable insights and help mitigate risks when making career decisions or planning for career development. Just as professional football players rely on their coaches to help them succeed, seeking counsel from seniors can be crucial for advancing one's career goals.
To achieve your goals and targets, it is important to continue taking action and trying new things. As Arthur Ashe once said, "Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome." In summary, keep striving towards your objectives and don't let setbacks or obstacles discourage you.
