"I never got a vibe from him that he was troubled, but he was pretty relentless to be good at everything he tried."
That WAS the relentless part. I have an uncle who is a respected scientist. I remember when my cousin came home to him with his report card, proud of his accomplishments: he had all A's except one B in math. My uncle punished him for that B. As I said, we were treated like dancing monkeys.
