Life has many flavors, but there is only one persistence.

Many times between people, or between people and things, you really shouldn't give up lightly. Just like in the "BOSTON LEGAL" drama, ALAN never gave up JERRY, even if JERRY kept appearing in various situations and causing various troubles.

JERRY appears in the show as a lawyer who suffers from behavioral disorders and often lacks confidence in himself. No one can question his professional ability, even an extremely conceited lawyer like Danny will introduce to ALAN: In this law firm, JERRY has extraordinary ability in economics and law. However, due to the behavioral disorder, he was nervous and overwhelmed when communicating with others, and even caused a lot of trouble for himself. However, ALAN understands JERRY's essence of kindness and inner weakness. So he insisted on being more patient and kind to JERRY. Even if Danny was jealous, ALAN still helped JERRY time and time again. Give him the most important encouragement in his heart, let him build up self-confidence and believe that he can rely on his sincerity and wisdom to overcome all cowardice, obstacles and defense cases.

JERRY and ALAN have two stories that left a deep impression on me. First, after JERRY was forced to resign, he overcame his own behavioral barriers when he defended the female patient who was in the same spiritual center with him for the first time. In the encouragement given by ALAN to JERRY this time, I really feel that ALAN is not only as Shirley said, he can see through the evil and dangerous side hidden in human hearts, but also can awaken people's original sincerity and kindness. The second time was when JERRY and a new lawyer who had just graduated from law school were defending the innocence of a black (first-degree murder) suspect, JERRY was still nervous and unable to prepare for the closing statement the next day in the middle of the night. ALAN looked at him with firm eyes, and told him: You believe that your client is innocent. Tomorrow's closing statement, you just need to believe in yourself.

ALAN clearly knows that JERRY is impeccable in the legal profession. He only needs a little encouragement and affirmation every time to stimulate all his energy. His inner self-esteem stemmed from behavioral barriers, which led to superficial incomprehension and rejection by others. ALAN is one of the few people around JERRY who is willing to be patient and to experience his inner person with more sincerity and higher wisdom.

ALAN once told SHIRLEY that he would not be a good father. But when JERRY regained his confidence again because of ALAN's encouragement, he said to ALAN: "I think you will be a good father. I can't imagine a better father than you to guide the children." I thought of a sentence I saw not long ago: There are some silent words, only those who seek dreams can hear each other. I think, ALAN and JERRY, although the time they can travel together is very limited, but in that very short period of time, they can hear the silent words in each other's hearts.

I remember being obsessed with "Court No. 1" when I was a child. I was determined to study law in the future. I could one day defend justice in court, just like the lawyers I admired on the screen. Therefore, when watching "BOSTON LEGAL", I will have a special feeling for those fierce defense scenes and large-scale and wonderful closing speeches. This is also related to some complex in my heart that can never be erased. Some of the reasons for those complexes have been hidden for a long time, while others are as clearly visible and vivid as yesterday. There is a line in "BOSTON LEGAL": We all think that it is a good thing to dig out the deep emotions, but many times it is not. When SHIRLEY was defending whether a girl should rely on drugs to forget certain memories, I wondered if I would like to rely on drugs to let myself forget certain memories. After thinking about it, I found myself reluctant, really reluctant. I am reluctant to forget all the things that I still remember. Even though there are many people in my memory that may never meet again, I will still insist on remembering, because the happiness in my memories is always more moving.

There is a child in the heart of people, and it is especially easy to approach innocence. There are often encounters in life, but not every moment is touched. We insist that the nerve that touches us will not become slender and insensitive due to the growth of age and the accumulation of experience.

  • Denny Crane: It's a good feeling, you know, to shoot a bad guy. Something you Democrats would never understand. Americans... we're homesteaders, we want a safe home, keep the money we make, and shoot bad guys.
