Chalrles Darwin was very dedicated to his work. When he was given an unreasonable deadline to complete his books on his theories (Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle) he did not give up but instead buried himself in his work at the expense of his health. The doctors advised to lay off his work completly for a few weeks but only after a few days of rest, he resumed his work. It is believed that his overwork led to repeted episodes of stomach pains, vomiting, severe boils, palpitations, trembling and other symptoms for the rest of his life.
From reascearching on Charles Darwin, i have learnt that perseverance is very important to acheive one's goals, but one should know one's limits and not work yourself sick. Therefore having balance in life is very important.
