Greatness is much more about inspiration and quality than about quantity and intensity. Intensity is only a net positive if you already know exactly what you're supposed to be creating

You can definitely do great work without having to sacrifice other aspects of your life -- in fact, in many cases, having a fulfilling life outside of work is a requirement in order to do great work

Hmm. That sounds too good to be true. I cannot think of any 'great' achievement by anyone in history that wasn't at the expense of something - almost always at the expense of time that could have been spent on love, family, other interests, health etc.

Do you think it's possible to do great work without living in/near a big tech hub? (cf. Silicon Valley) It seems to cover a huge chunk of the sacrifice you point out -- e.g. lower quality of life (?) and far away from family.

No you can’t. You can work on keeping other aspects relatively ok that’s all, and that’s the challenge.

For great work one has to be born smart. This smartness is already triggered or you trigger it by working hard. but if you aren't born smart, there is nothing to be triggered.

I don't think it's doing great work, it's doing "meh" at mostly. If you can produce great results with jungling between society and work, then imagine what would happen with full energy dedicated only to work.

Investing a lot of your time in your work is hard, and require a strong leading motivation. A balanced life will make it easier to you to have the strength to keep focus on your task even on the time things are not going well.
