Interesting thread/discussion. For me, a lot of the debate can be traced back to the above statement. I used to compare myself to "successful" people like CEO's and the people at the top of my profession. I eventually learned that many of these people worked insane hours and sacrificed a lot of things to get to where they are. At the risk of generalizing, they would rather work than sleep, spend time with family, etc. etc. etc. That's just how they are wired.
I'm not wired that way. I like sleep. I like vacations. I have no interest in having no life and no time for my family because I'm at the office (or otherwise working) 12+ hours a day plus weekends. Some people are able to do it (and do it well) but I don't happen to be one of them. That doesn't make me right or them wrong -- its up to each person and what "works" for them.
