HOPE Don't Get The Job Done

I was watching the old Netflix movie clip [ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQUIRE] when Denzel Washington, blurted out 'HOPE Don't Get The Job Done' and that one-liner did grab me by my lapels.  And his protagonist retorted, 'IS THAT DELUSION' while his colleague in the law firm commended their senior partner for being GREAT IN THE SEAT, GREAT ON HIS FEET'.  Then,  Denzel fights back to the new lawyer and tells him, "YOU'RE A LOW-FLYING BEE".  This movie clip did reawaken me to legitimate issues that continue to pervade even in the supposed bulwarks of democracy like the U.S. judicial system📗📙📘

Ironically, it is the PLEA BARGAINING practice in many courts globally that was at the very core of Denzel Washington's Netflix movie.  So, how relevant is this movie clip to our daily lives?  So relevant, dude.  Because what this tells us, much as we have our career aspirations even when we are still in school, upon achieving our career aspirations, THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS💥💥💥

As a personal sharing, at a very raw age when I was just in my elementary schooling, I would hear many times from my grandma that 'LAWYERS WILL GO TO HELL WHEN THEY DIE'.  At that raw age, that DIDN'T make sense to me.  Eventually when I graduated from university, I doggedly pursued for admission in one of my country's premier law schools.  And alas, I got admitted BUT as I was in the crossroads of job offers and the law school, I made a tough decision to shelve my law studies in favor of the tempting juicy offers I was getting❗❗❗

BUT again the path towards success is often strewn with setbacks and rejections, leaving even the most determined upstarts disheartened.  With all humility, I had enough reservoir of motivation from within me BUT I'll be the first to admit that it was NOT uncommon to hit frustration and doubt all rolled into one, particularly WHEN we are faced with a seemingly endless stream of rejections❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  Let us understand that failures and REJECTION are inherent parts of that process in life and it behooves that we understand that it's NOT a reflection of one's worth OR capabilities.  It's normal to feel discouraged by REJECTION BUT every setback provides an opportunity for our personal growth.  YES dude, HOPE [itself] DON'T GET THE JOB DONE❌❌❌
