Not just passion, but intensity. Work hard, play hard. Time efficiency. No-nonsense. Some of my friends are extremely proficient at this. They pack so much into their lives, always running on high gear, and they seem to be in great physical (and mental) health. Would I enjoy life more (by having more to enjoy in life) if I squeeze more in? Or will I just see that running a gear lower lets me enjoy the ride more?

More importantly, do I even have a choice? How do I jump-start my life into that gear? Or am I genetically stuck with a 5-gear transmission in a Formula 1 world?
