A lawyer went to law school without ever visiting campus, sitting in on classes, or talking to practicing lawyers. He calls it a bad decision that taught him three lessons: don't follow a path without questioning it, don't avoid risk, and don't assume you understand a profession without investigating it first.
I went to law school. It's crazy. Yeah. I never visited a law school. I never sat in a law school class. I never talked to a lawyer about what he or she did. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. You don't do that. But I do think that I can learn from it. I learned so much from that bad decision about conformity, about not taking risks. This is a huge one for me, which is thinking that I knew how something worked before actually investigating it. I have a daughter in medical school, and you cannot even think about applying to medical school unless you have spent considerable amount of time shadowing physicians. Yeah. And there are people who will go out I want to go to medical school because I'm good at science. And they go out, shadow physicians, and they're like, I don't want to do this. And that's great. That's a great thing.
