The truth is that the "best ones" are often obsessed with their work and endure painful tradeoffs in their lives, for example their family lives, because of it.

People who do great work tend to think about their work all the time. No one thinks about their fourth priority all the time.

I have observed an inverse correlation between consistent, unasked overtime and ability.
