Andrew Weil
Integrative Medicine
To drop out of medicine after one year of internship, there was very little professional or social support for that. I wanted to be licensed as a general practitioner, and at that time almost everyone that I knew went on to specialty training, so that was a big decision. Secondly, I did not hear other physicians questioning the risks of the methods that they were using. And the things that I was most interested in -- mind/body interactions, for example, natural medicine, the use of plants in medicine -- there was nobody doing those kinds of things. And so it was a very lonely path that I preceded on when I left professional medicine.

Sanford Weill
Financier and Philanthropist
If a person is not willing to make a mistake, you're never going to do anything right. Because most of us are not perfect, and therefore, I think it's very important to learn how to be a risk taker. Learn how to be a loser, because it's important to be a loser to be a winner. And learn that when you do make a mistake, you'll surface that mistake so you can get it corrected, rather than trying to hide it and bury it, and it becomes a much bigger mistake, and maybe a fatal mistake.
