I'm an expert, but the whole single-minded savant thing isn't me at all. I love my teaching duties, but I do a lot of other stuff as well to keep me sharp. I tend to get really excited and passionate about things in waves, which is why I do a lot of freelance as well as help my wife with her business. At core, though, my love is teaching because it's dynamic, rewarding, and enjoyable.
My wife, on the other hand, is a single-minded savant. She works probably 12-14 hours a day at her job and is completely passionate about it... at times annoyingly so in that she's bordering on workaholic.
