Summary

Laura Meier was a young lawyer at 24. She was finding her way, doing her best, but knew she had a lot to learn. Then, in a meeting with her managing partner and the Mayor, she was shocked when the mayor said, “Our city attorney just quit. We want Laura to have the job.” She was even more surprised to hear her boss’ reply. She learned the lesson early in her career: when opportunities come your way, say yes, and then do whatever it takes to meet the challenge. Don't say no. If it's meant to be, just say yes and go with it.”
