I Interviewed One Of The Most Powerful Lawyers In The World And He Told Me, "at The Time, It Was The Worst Thing In The World Not To Be Able To Get A Job At A Fancy Law Firm, But It's The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened In My Life."

Through Embracing The Diversity Of Humans Beings, We Will Find A Sure Way To True Happiness.
