>> At the age of 40+, I'm a bit ashamed that I'm not as persistent as them, when they were at their 20s and 30s back then.

Don't be and be careful what you wish for.

From my perspective their behavior is borderline unhealthy and almost like a type of OCD but by sheer luck directed towards stuff that pays good. Especially Carmac and Romero are bad role models - their life is really good story to tell (both books reads very well) but not to live.

Thanks. I'm mostly concerned by my lack of persistence. I did read both of the books, and yeah, I don't want to live their childhoods, although my own childhood is not particularly interesting and inspiring.
