Melrose, Mark R.

Abstract:

Attorney Mark Melrose’s initial focal point was on the trials of opening a private practice, but toward the end of the reflection, it had changed. The change comes from the lesson learned from the experience. Never confuse the ideal of what it can be like—in his case, ideal came complete with fewer hours and more money—with the reality of what it will be like. From the lesson learned and experience lived, Melrose was able to proclaim that the fruit was worth the labor.
