To be good at something you have to make sacrifices, but it doesn't mean the sacrifices are the kind of things we can look with contempt. Take for example a Formula 1 driver, or a violin player, or a guitar player. All they need to do is practice, and practice, and practice a little more. In fact, right now, I wish I wasted less time in my teens and twenties trying to be 'normal' and meeting girls and going to parties and all that stuff, I should have invested more time doing weird hacking stuff and learning vector algebra and physics. Normality is very overrated. That's what I'm going to teach my children.
