The protagonist lawyer in the show had just won his case. Super cool music plays in the background. The camera closed up on him. Dad thought the production crew was trying to depict a Victorian-era superhero. <BR/><BR/>Dad: "That's a lawyer son. Lawyers are bery hard to become one you know. They earn a lot of money just by talking. They have to tok very fast and tok very well. They have to make frens with bad people." <BR/><BR/>Ma: "Yah...Sometimes if they lose case for the bad people the bad guys then go and kill him. Dont be crazy la son. Just study hard, next time become engineer like your brother." <BR/><BR/>son: "But I want to be like him! I don't want to do anything! I want to make money just by scolding people!"<BR/><BR/>Dad: "Aiya, you want also don't have. You think it's so easy ah? Go do your homework now, go."<BR/><BR/>10 years later...<BR/><BR/>The son put the book aside. He had just spent 3 hrs reading one chapter. 7 more chapters to go. He looked at the clock---12.30 am. <BR/><BR/>He stared at the title. "Lloyd's Introduction to Jurisprudence". As he walked towards the kitchen for his 5th coffee mix that day, he couldn't help but wonder, "Make money just by scolding people? Right!" <BR/><BR/>(The above was adapted from a true story...) <BR/><BR/>:)ZLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355358673805682427noreply@blogger.com
