Then he gave that up, went to med school, and now is an orthopedic surgeon. He is an exceptional talented guy. But still I tell my kids to take risks when they are young, in their 20s. If it doesn't work out, they have plenty of time to do something more conventional; if it does work out, they may make history. But, of course, I'm always learning more from my children than they;ll ever learn from me, at least at this point.Tom Sightingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-58010967859877623512016-11-14T13:50:40.738-08:002016-11-14T13:50:40.738-08:00Robert, you just made my day.

Not old, but it's one of those ones that really makes you start thinking about what the rest of your life will look like. 'Where you've been and where you'll go' but with more focus on reality then a teenager or college student might have. Thank you so much for sharing.Robert Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01462784064936801201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-82608716088279077362016-11-12T17:48:30.504-08:002016-11-12T17:48:30.504-08:00What a delightful post - and philosophy.Childless,...What a delightful post - and philosophy.<br>Childless, I cannot answer your question, but love and applaud the concept of admitting mistakes, and moving forward.
