It's in their culture and their minds are programmed to work like that. I know some Asian countries who are competitive like Japan so they work hard longer than usual. But don't get me wrong, I am not for 60 hours a week of work too. Our bodies and minds deserve to rest too. I guess the Japanese don’t mind working 60-70 hours a week.

I admire the people who work 50-60+ weeks, but I know I'd have a hard time with it. I have yet to meet a job that fulfills me on any level other than paying the bills.
