How to be a Designaholic?

I went to Jamie Koval's presentation last thursday of the work  done by him and his company, VSA. It was inspiring as always but one of the things I remember most was his self-proclamation, " I am a designaholic." I understand to an extent that to reach the level he is at, design is more than a profession or hobby. It's a love and a passion and a lifestyle. He said he stayed at the office until 10 o'clock some nights just because there were so many fun things to do. He talked about doing the Chicago Olympic bid and how it had been an ultimate goal for him to produce an event like that. It was very obvious that he loved what he was doing. Being a young designer I know that is something that can't be taught. Neither can work ethic or discipline but that is what will help you succeed and get you wherever you may want to go with your career.[gallery]
