I thought about the law firm, and how when we were just a handful of young lawyers, only two or three years out of law school, we used to go on recruiting trips to all the best law schools. We would stand up before a group of one hundred law students and talk about our dream of a two-hundred-lawyer firm that would be a major force in the nation’s legal community. We had a dream and the obvious commitment. Year after year, the best young lawyers were attracted to our small group, until ultimately, our dream was realized. We created our future that way.
