史磊: 我从十二年的旅游人转行成为一名律师，这其中经历了中年失业的阵痛，也体会到了法考的艰辛和律所工作的挑战。疫情期间，我因国家政策而失业，这让我开始重新审视人生，最终选择学习法律。法考的准备过程非常艰苦，我经历了裸考和复习备考的阶段，最终通过考试。进入律所后，我发现法考只是万里长征的第一步，我面临着思维模式、工作方式的转变，以及来自各方面的否定和挑战。在律所实习期间，我努力学习，积累经验，逐渐找到了自己的角色定位。最终，我选择独立执业，并通过之前积累的人脉和经验，获得了客户的信任，成功地开展了自己的律师业务。这段经历让我深刻体会到，做事情的痛苦远小于不做事情的痛苦，读书未必改变命运，但能带来底气。

Shi Lei: 'As you all know, during the epidemic, my main work for the previous ten years involved the US and other countries. Others say that ordinary people lose their jobs due to company announcements; we lost our jobs due to national announcements.'
Shi Lei: 'If you haven't cried bitterly in the middle of the night, you won't truly understand life. I, on the contrary, feel that my initial career was exceptionally smooth, and this time, after experiencing unemployment, it allowed me to re-examine myself and find a new direction.'
Shi Lei: 'After doing an internship for a year and a half, I became an independent lawyer in July last year. But now, that's roughly the situation. ... I found out after entering the law firm that passing the bar exam is only the first step in becoming a lawyer.'
Shi Lei: 'The most crucial point is that I didn't understand the law. At that time, I didn't realize how important the law on paper was.'
Shi Lei: 'When I knew I had passed the objective questions, there were only 12 days left until the subjective questions, which was simply not enough time. ... But I did pass the basic score, which gave me confidence that I could pass.'
Shi Lei: 'My son said, "Why don't you just give up?" At that time, I was thinking... There was simply no other better path.'
Shi Lei: 'Yu Minhong said, "The pain of doing things is far less than the pain of not doing things." When you don't do anything, your sense of worth completely disappears.'
Shi Lei: 'I felt that this top-level scholarly accomplishment was something I would never achieve in my lifetime. But I felt that the quality and income level of my tour group members were something I envied. I said that if one day... I think reading may not change your destiny, but at least when you are unemployed, you have a safety net.'
Shi Lei: 'I myself think I am a "triple-none" lawyer: first, no prestigious university background; second, not a professional; third, no strong social resources. But... I didn't think about submitting resumes because you know there are so many lawyers in Beijing.'
Shi Lei: 'I thought that after passing the bar exam, I would be a qualified lawyer. But after entering the law firm, I realized that passing the bar exam is only the first step in becoming a lawyer.'
Shi Lei: 'The biggest challenge for me was the challenge of thinking... The most important thing is that I realized where my role was.'
Shi Lei: 'So I applied the transferable skills, like my ability to speak and write, to the legal field...The first step is to be seen in your Moments; the second is to output positive energy; the third is to output your professionalism; and the fourth, I'm a good writer, so I write some public accounts, although no one reads them, but...'
Shi Lei: 'The lawyer's career is very long...'
Shi Lei: 'The biggest difficulty is a difficulty in thinking logic, or a difference in thinking patterns, do you understand? ... But in the law firm aspect, the first time I shared in a meeting, a case discussion, I hadn't spoken two sentences when someone raised their hand, "Lawyer Shi, I disagree with your point of view, I think it's like this." '
Shi Lei: 'My master said that anything can be done in three steps: the first is to learn the rules; the second is to apply the rules; and the third is to break the rules.'
Shi Lei: 'Life is not about possessing perfection to be successful, but about learning to live with the pain of this industry, recognizing its so-called shortcomings, and being able to continue to live with the pain is the most important thing.'
Shi Lei: 'I think that lawyers may only be a part of my life experience...'
Shi Lei: 'The first suggestion is really a joke. If he really... has at least a bachelor's degree or above, and if his communication and writing skills are not a problem, loves reading, loves analysis, and has sufficient stress resistance, then he can still come in. My suggestion is that the first is the mental state problem. Adjust your mentality. I was also a similar kind of unfortunate person, a victim, or I was so unlucky to encounter a mid-life career crisis.'
