Is that at all related to bistromathics?

More seriously, for someone to have done that, I'd be worried about whether they had missed out on too much else along the way - such as, for example, any semblance of a childhood. It's entirely possible to do all of that and more of one's own volition, enjoy every bit of it, and not regret anything that got skipped - but it's so very unlikely that the reverse case is by far the safer initial assumption.

That's just my initial reaction, however; having read the article, it looks like she's happy enough as things stand, and may in fact have managed to thread that improbable needle. Therefore, with that out of the way:

"It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years."
