"If [he should discover that he has made a mistake in choosing his life work] (and it can easily happen), he must change his vocation and mode of life. If circumstances favour such change, it will be effected with greater ease and convenience. If not, it must be made gradually, step by step, just as, when friendships become no longer pleasing or desirable, it is more proper (so wise men think) to undo the bond little by little than to sever it at a stroke. And when we have once changed our calling in life, we must take all possible care to make it clear that we have done so with good reason."

I think he realizes that other people may question your career change, which is why you have to make it clear that you based your decision on a sound reason, e.g., "biglaw hours were decimating my mental & physical health; it was not worth staying there."

If you don't, people will think your "weak" cause you couldn't hack it in the law.
