I'm slaving away on a due diligence report. Well I was, until I decided to sneak another look at an opinion sent by my boss to a client last night, and decided to blog about it. I'm looking at it -- sigh -- no longer than a page, but utterly concise, perfectly worded, and simply brilliant. I took a first crack at this opinion and turned in what I thought was a correct one. Reading the final product shows that I was half right (or half wrong -- depending on how you look at it). It's always like this; he is one of two partners who routinely make radical changes to the things I write (he more than the other; from a simple article to a full blown report), and I often wonder why he still gives me work. We never agree, and he's always right. Literally always right, without a trace of bitterness on my part.
I hope that one day, I will be like him. Do we really get better in time, or are we doomed by a lack of talent that can never be corrected? Maybe in ten years I will be like the partners in my firm, if I don't slit my wrists from being constantly disappointed in myself.
