Smythe LLP’s Post

We started Queritius four years ago. Contrary to appearance, we have not slid in on a shrimp sandwich. In fact, we have failed quite often. We did not make it to Chambers & Partners, in the first year. Nor in the second. We did not manage to secure third party funding for a large case we really counted on. We lost two major cases which we candidly believe should have been decided in favor of our clients. We parted ways with a few great colleagues and excellent lawyers. We made some embarrassing mistakes. To give one example, when stepping down from a case in a somewhat tense circumstances, I personally sent our farewell e-mail addressed to “Dear Members of the Arbitral Tribunal, Dead Colleagues…”, without noting the typo 🤦♂️ But failures are a part and parcel of any human endeavor. As a great movie quote puts it, “it is not about how hard you can hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That is how winning is done”. And so, we keep moving forward. Enriched with experience, improved from our mistakes, resilient, and still passionate about what we do.

Day 2 - Uttam Mardav (Supreme Humility) Welcome to Day 2 of Daslakshan Parv, the second virtue of this festival is: Humility. --- Let's imagine: You worked 10-12 hours every day to clear an exam. You wrote the exam well and you cleared it. (Kudos to you) --- You feel proud of yourself and everyone is congratulating you. But you noticed, none of your friends cleared it. You feel sad for sometime, but slowly you start feeling like.. "I am the best" , "I am the supreme" , "No one is better than me" --- You started blaming your friends for being stupid. "It was such an easy exam, huh. see i cleared it" All your friends realise you are becoming arrogant and leave you. But you don't care. You are happy. --- After some years, everyone is successful and happy. But you don't have any friends now. They meet regularly and post on Instagram. And you are all alone. At that moment you realise, you were arrogant for no reason. Everyone has different timelines, just because you cleared your exam sooner doesn't mean you were successful and others were failures. The moment you realise it. You leave arrogance and become humble. --- This day is a celebration of Humility. From today, you accept that everyone is equally capable and there is nothing in this whole world to be arrogant about. Because time can change everything. Time is supreme. So, stay humble. : ) See you tomorrow.
