While I agree that doing is a great way to learn some things.
I have to point out the fallacy in the first paragraph. He cites a bunch of people who began working in their teen years who later went on to become famous, presumably because they started "doing" things so early. As a counterpoint, there are many millions of young people throughout history, and even now, who began "doing" at a young age and were nothing more than average, at best.
Dropping out of high school to go be a "doer" is a great way to become a high school dropout, not a prodigy.
