Ok, if no one were to ever get obsessed to achieve their best, the state of the world's athletes (and many other things) would be in pretty terrible shape i'd say.

What about scholars? Many of them devote their lives to proving one formula or idea. Is that obsessive and laughable? Have THEY made any effort to develop what HOLDS their ears and head?

Just because someone puts in numerous hours a day into an activity, doesn't mean they don't know people outside of it.
