“The best legal experience I ever got was when I was very young. I asked my father why he did so much work for a big blowhard, an overreaching jerk, rather than for his best friend Grant McFadden. He said, ‘That man you call a blowhard is a walking bonanza of legal troubles, whereas Grant McFadden, who fixes problems promptly and is nice, hardly generates any legal work at all.’ ” – Two lessons here: (1) If we fix problems promptly and are nice to people, we’ll have fewer legal problems. (2) In the trades and professions, whether one is a plumber, a lawyer, a dentist, a roofer, or a surgeon, it is the people with problems who are going to bring in the business. Which is one of the reasons that Charlie got out of the law business. Tao of Charlie Munger David Clark
