> It’s super telling that this 55 year old billionaire would be “working on a presentation he was giving” at 02h00 in the morning. It is probably possible to do great things without burning the midnight oil, I’ve just never seen it personally, or been able to do it that way myself.
It is probably possible to survive in good health and shape and reach your 80s while continuously burning the midnight oil, I’ve just never seen it personally.
Sure, "burning the midnight oil" is something that can (and IMHO should) be done sometimes. But is that the only (and main) key to success? I doubt it. The lesson about focus is far more valuable.
