The following is a testimony of passing the lawyer

Grit ... Anything twice, three times, and then another.

I never got anything at once. I went to Wellesley College and later transferred to MIT. The transfer process was not smooth. I applied for an transfer in the fall semester, but I dropped it again in the spring semester. The school rules say that I do not receive the application form of foreign students at all in the spring semester, so I asked them to submit my application and go to the school admissions office to explain my situation and allow me to apply. At that time I was majoring in fine arts at Wellesley College, where all mathematics and science courses were taken at sister school MIT. Because I didn't sleep and play, I studied and earned A credits in all classes. I'm better at math and science than your schoolmates, but I've written several times asking you to think twice about whether it's the right school rule that doesn't pick me out for reasons of being a foreigner. Eventually, MIT allowed me to transfer, despite being the first spring semester in school history. On the day the transfer was decided, the admissions office gave me a call directly.

[Daniel, you are so persistent. Now don't come and don't write a letter!]

I could go a little easier now, but after graduating, I wrote an application to several graduate schools, and then I ran out. In the end, I had to concentrate on research with a small salary under a professor I knew for a year after graduation. When he was relieved of his discomfort and resubmitted his application with the professor's highly recommended recommendation, he was fortunate to have two or three of them, attending the Wharton School, which is best for his Ph.D.

I went to Wharton School and my life was going to be solved. But I couldn't get a proper line because I didn't study well. I just got married a few days after I met someone who saw the line. But later I had to do divorce and had to go through another big failure.

When I went to law school and got an internship, I had to apply for 60 places, but only a few companies got in touch. How common it was to hear rejection did not hurt even later. I was lucky enough to join my current law firm, so I had to go to work with my boss, and I had to work like a squat to prove my skills.

At first, the California bar test, which had to pass to become a lawyer, had to be dropped and retaken at first. There are a total of six lawyers in the first year at the office, and everyone except me and the other had already passed on the first attempt, so I had to work for months without notice. No matter how good my work was, I could not pass the bar test yet. My qualifications were added to it, and my confidence dried up, and I suffered every day.

The process of studying to take the second bar test was also challenging. When I was in college, my head went sour that I could remember anything even once or twice. It's not a joke, but it's like the movie's main character. I came home after work and studied, and at least 12 hours of study every day on weekends, I felt depressed. I could go out and see my friends and I could only stay for an hour or more in anxiety.

After several months of struggling, I went to take the test, and because I set the timer incorrectly, I miscalculated the time left and tried the test. My heart was beating and not breathing. I woke up, and when I woke up, both balls were drenched with new tears that I did not know. I couldn't think of anything, so I abandoned my precious time that lasted 30 minutes, hardening like a plaster. I've been struggling for a few months and I wanted to collapse like this. When I finished the test, it seemed like it would fall and I wanted to get up and go home, but I put up with it again.

[But let's finish. Let's not be the nasty person who gives up because it seems to lose.]

After the test on the first day, he returned to the room and cried, crying like a newborn child for three hours. I couldn't be so sad even if I was really sad. After three hours of crying, I was calmed down and prepared for the next day. The next day didn't panic, but the first day's mistake was fatal, so the time to wait for the result was hellish.

Call Mom [Mom, how do you feel when you pray? Do you think God will attach me this time?] "You have to pray, what do you do when you ask your mother?"

[I'm a member of a church so hard to believe it's useless mother]

I spent several months feeling both hope and despair. And finally, when the day of battle came to drink and check, but the mentality was weak enough to worry, but still confirmed the results with the spirit.

UNCONDITIONAL OFFER

I did it.

I was proud of myself.

Even though I ruined my exam, I loved it that day.

I liked the guy who did not give up the easy road even when others laughed at me.

I remember what Saltors, a senior in law school and my mentor, has always said to me.

[Daniel, the most important thing for a person is grit. Anyone with a grit will succeed no matter where they go, but without it, he will eventually fail. I want you to be the one with the grit.]

Grit is a term conceptualized by American psychologist Prof. Angela Lee Duckworth, named after letters of growth, resilience, intrinsic motivation, and tenacity. Professor Dirkworth says simply running with passion doesn't play a decisive role in achieving achievement. Enthusiasm should be supported by persistence, determination, or courage, and there must be resilience and resilience to get up again after discouragement. And finally, he says, you should be able to stay focused on one thing for years.

The world changes so quickly that it feels like I'm falling behind, and I feel like I'm still behind, but today I try to move without being shaken to be a grit. And whatever people around me, I just want to go my way. Then, when the moments that you want to give up come, do not give up.
