The things that Ray Ozzie has to say about his approach to work and life really resonate with me. I too dive into things completely, wholeheartedly - sometimes to my detriment. Early on I found a short quote that I put on my dorm room wall, and it has pretty much governed my behavior since then. "You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed." -- this was John Irving's response to the question "...how to succeed as a writer?", sometime back in the antediluvian '70s.
I just don't know any other way to succeed, at life or work. Seems I'm in good company.
