Needing to do something that’s in your dna or running through your veins is very close to ego. I’ve known a lot of 80 year old law partners who can’t enjoy a vacation with their families because they have a view that everything will come crashing down if they are not pulling all the strings all the time. That is ego, and it makes for a surprisingly number of lawyers at that age who don’t talk to their kids, are hated by their grandchildren, and can’t remember the last time they sat on a beach and had a drink. Believe me. Ive know a lot of them. A real danger of the profession.

Football is in his DNA. It is his identity. Brady has played the game for over 40 years. It’s hard to walk away from who you are, especially when you are still playing at a high level. You should know this, Peter.
How many old multi-millionaire lawyers do you see still practicing? They obviously don’t need the money or notoriety. The law flows through their veins. It’s giving something up which you’ve done your entire life that is hard.
