What is the best advice you've ever received?
“Better is the enemy of good.” Especially in law there is a strong drive towards perfection. There is nothing wrong with getting something perfect. But it is a problem if you paralyze yourself trying to get something perfect instead of getting it completed.

I am a dog person. My wife and I belong to a greyhound rescue society that places retired racers with families. We also foster greyhounds.
