If you don’t known, the Orionid meteor shower will peak tonight. The showers occur from October 17-25th and will peak on October 21st (tonight) and 22nd when 20-25 shooting stars should be visible each hour. Unfortunately, the Lord has dictated that a high cloud deck is present so I will not be watching the show tonight. The scope, neglected yet another night!
Now, one of the things I have witnessed over years of practicing law is that lawyers love to talk. I am no exception. I love to tell stories. I love to make people laugh. I love to laugh! I love to bug people. I just love to talk. Yet is this really what should be going on?
Tonight, when I was attending a group meeting, I didn’t really say a word the entire night and toward the end of the meeting one of the participants said don’t you want to say anything and I noted that “I was just playing the listening game!” The group laughed! It’s a good illustration that even lawyers need to listen.
I believe that lawyers should not only listen, but should ask their clients the questions - What can I do for you? How can I legally serve you? Try it! - It could change your practice!
The next time you see a family member - spouse, parent, child or even significant other - ask the questions - What can I do for you? How can I serve you? Try it! - It could change your relationship!
I will take it a step further, why don’t you ask these questions of the next person you meet on the street. What can I do for you? How can I serve you? Try it! - It could change a life!
Ramble On … (Listening Mode)!
