PETER SHANKMAN

The next time you have a crappy day

You know, there are times…

There are times when I honestly stop, look up, and go, "what the hell am I doing this for? I hate everyone. Clients don’t listen, lawyers drive me insane, no one gets it, this isn’t worth it.

There are times when I ask myself if it’s all worth it. I ask myself if momentary freedom is worth chasing clients down day after day to pay their invoices. I ask if it’s all worth it. I ask if fighting the good fight, taking the subway to a meeting in the pouring rain because I don’t work for a company that will give me a driver is worth the agony and soaking-wet shoes.

I ask if it’s worth it. Every once in a while.

But I know the answer. The answer, of course, is that it is.

It’s totally worth it. It always is. Even on days when I don’t think it is, it is.

Why?

Because I don’t want to be the one asking "what else haven’t I done?"

This commercial proves me right.

It’s always worth it.

And it’s never too late.

Ever.

Right, Mr. Hadley?

It’s always worth it.

Don’t ever forget that.
