We extend our thanks to 高秘書-SHOWGOLF for inviting Attorney Daniel J. Chen, founder and chairman of Daniel Brothers Commercial & Law Firm, to be a guest on the “Gossip Golf” podcast. During the interview, Attorney Chen shared his insights on golf and life that he has gained over the years.
For Attorney Chen, the four letters of GOLF represent not the usual “Green, Oxygen, Light, Foot”, but rather “Green, Oxygen, Life, and Friendship.”
– G stands for “Green” (nature),
– O stands for “Oxygen” (fresh air),
– L stands for “Life” (attitude towards life),
– F stands for “Friendship”(building friendships through golf).
This sport, full of greenery, removed from the hustle and bustle, close to nature, offering fresh air, sunshine, and opportunities for interpersonal relationships, holds a profound positive value for modern people seeking health, reducing feelings of alienation, and cultivating an open mind.
For him, golf is not only a source of physical pleasure but also spiritual purification, with the scenery of the course always leaving one feeling refreshed. He emphasizes cherishing every step, every swing, and maintaining humility and patience. This attitude is also reflected in his professional work, where he remains focused and makes calm, rational judgments to provide the best possible service and protect the best interests of his clients.
Attorney Chen believes that “smart golf” is not just about strategy on the course but also a philosophy for life. Golf is not just about brute strength but about strategy, thought, and skill. This way of thinking is also reflected in his professional philosophy as an attorney, where solving legal problems is not just about resolving issues but also about balancing the interests of all parties and finding the optimal solution.
Finally, Attorney Chen shared that golf is not just a part of his daily life but also an important source of mindfulness, caution, and strategic thinking when facing setbacks in his legal career. He emphasizes the importance of humility and patience in his work, adhering to the gentleman’s way by giving back to society and helping others through his professional expertise. Attorney Chen’s values align closely with the spirit of golf, whether on the course or in the workplace, facing life’s challenges with composure, adjusting one’s mindset, taking each shot carefully, and striving to “do your best in everything.”
