Practice makes perfect

I had not hit a golf ball for a little over two weeks recently, and when I went to practice, I found that my game has really gone backwards, and I was struggling to connect the ball properly. Professionals of course would practice 7 or 8 hours or in Tiger Woods’ case, 11 hours a day, each and every day, which is one of the many reasons why, apart from lack of talent, the rest of us have no hope of achieving what they do! It is also a good reminder for me that one must do what one is good at, and it never ceases to amaze me how in my field, where we are excellent at personal injury cases, how many people who clearly don’t have a clue as to what they are doing, try to participate in the work and really make disasters of cases. In short, what I am saying is that more attorneys, more professionals and people in general should not try to take on work that they are not good at, and that they are not practicing on a daily basis. Personal injury cases, developments in court and the general practice, which you cannot read about in a book, change each and every day, and somebody who has not done a case for 6 months or 1 year, is extremely unlikely to be up to date and able to deliver the same service. Almost every time I am called upon to sue an attorney for negligence, it is almost always because that attorney is trying to do a little bit of divorce, a little bit of personal injury, a few contracts here and there as well as conveyancing and transfer of property.
