I think It would have been very easy for me to finish law school and then work for a corporation and make really good money hourly. But instead I chose to pursue this path where a lot of my cases. Actually not a lot. All of my cases. I use my own money to persecute those cases, to seek justice for my client. So it is hard, but it's worthwhile. And it fills me. It gives me this sense of fulfillment. Yang loon lamb like John Kekong. He didn't look so fine. (18:36–18:59)
