Conflicts....

In this business world, there's a lot of chances that we will be subject / face a conflicts because of different point of view on certain things.  For as long as I remember, over the years, whenever I talk about my work, none.  I repeat, NONE understand what I am talking about.  No matter how simple I tried to put it and to how 'lay' can it be to lay people, I am like talking to a cow.  My parents never ask me about my job because I will end up with frustration and I will end up being so lazy to answer and just mumble a few words and told them, "don't bother me". 
But I guess my mom has been too lonely and has nothing much to do these days and she does ask about what I do.  Since I have many trials in Tawau last year end, she started to know that I go to court for 'trials' and she always aske me what I do in trials.  Although it's not exactly what the HK series shown, I will just have to answer to her that it's just like that on the TV.  Of course, it's frustrated to talk to a cow. hehe.. and so, I usually says, "it's ok. let's not talk about work.  I am tired". hehe... or i know she just wanted to know more, so i just changed topics. hehehe..... occasionally, i will filled her up with some 'interesting' stories in the court so we all can laugh at. She's amazed to find out about at least 20 couples get divorce every Friday in KK.  hahaha.. yeah, my mom still think divorce is a shameful thing, but she never get shocked to heard a friend of mine or whoever we knows are getting divorce though. hahahahaha.....
Ok.  Let's get back to the conflicts I want to tell you about.  It is about how much people knows what lawyer do for them when they appoint them.  Many thoughts, I engaged a lawyers, paid for the legal fees and they are suppose to handle my matter and finish it fast.  Problem is, if it is a straight forward matter, yes, it will finish fast.  But if it not, it will take some times.  And when you have involve a loan and many other lawyers for different things, it will be more complicated.  There's always competition between banks.  So, if your banks and the other party's bank are not the same bank, do expect a hiccup somewhere, be it on your redemption statement, the undertaking, etc.  Believe me, none of the lawyers in this world want to hold on to your case for more than 4 months, especially with the little legal fees we charge you and it's not beneficial to the lawyers in any way either.  So, if you push your lawyers further to ignore the undertaking nor whatever else to speed up the process, don't sue your lawyer at the end of the day if anything wrong happen. 
If you ask me if i would rather to be scolded by your for slowness due to banks or being sue by you at the end, i will choose the former.  That's exactly what I did for my uncle's matter and he got so upset about the slowness, etc.  and I get scolded like a wet dog under a heavy rain.  He is still not looking at me in the eyes even though the matter has been ended since January.  If you ask me, is it fun to be a lawyer?
I can really tell you, the first criteria and requirement one needs to have in order to become a really good lawyer is knowing how to have conflicts with others and start arguing non stop.  Damn! That's exactly what I don't like.  I hates having conflicts with others.  Especially when I get blamed and accused for things not of my fault? Bloody hell, that make me feel so upset.
