Wow... congratulation.. to him!!  It sounds like he is a very balance kind of guy!
A success require more than just playing games..
He is studying MBA instead dropping out of school early.
Yet, he is physically fit for doing the 24hrs endurance type driving
And, he spent enough time playing games without lossing in both his schooling and physical shape.
