I always wonder, do these workaholic types never get sick? Do they just push through the pain? Surely you can only push the body so much before something gives.
Could 2 week yearly vacation Jensen Huang actually perform better than 365 day per year workaholic Jensen Huang? An interesting thought experiment.
There are relatively few people whose work is truly integrated into their sense of self, where doing what they love is inherently self-fulfilling. Think of someone like Jensen Huang, he’s not operating alone: he surrounds himself with the greatest teams and focuses on what he does best.
By contrast, some people mask the absence of that self-fulfillment with grandiose narratives that their inner selves don't actually support. And I suspect many also turn to drugs (including prescription or medically supervised ones) in an attempt to maximize their potential or suppress feelings that undermine their performance.
