To the Legal minds,
Right from my childhood, I have been pressing to become not just a lawyer but a successful one. I forced myself to Art class in secondary school even when it was obvious enough that I could be better in science, I also waited few years at home just because I want to study law, I rejected all other courses offered. I spent almost 6 years processing LL.B admission.
Now, I am already a law student, the question now is, how can I be a successful lawyer ?
This question has been baffling me, I have heard people saying a lot of things about lawyers out there, calling them different names, such as charge and bail, among others. I have ruminated on it times without number, but I couldn't get myself a convincing answer. I don't have a predecessor who can enlighten me on this legal field. So, I have to ask everybody askable.
How can I be a successful lawyer ?
What are those things required of me ?
I have to know this right from now and not when I get out there. Qui non est hodie cras minus aptus erit, is a latin maxims that, he who is not prepared today, will be less so tomorrow. I think I need to start taking every steps required now, and not later. But I need to know them.

Please, SIRs/MAs, I need an answer. To the legal minds, I put this before you. Help me and be my mentors and role models.
Thanks for every contribution.
