back on topic:
For one, speaking from experience, eccentricity and hyper-productivity are not ballencing, rather they amplify eachother's negative aspects.
Also, keep in mind, if you are eccentric, people will view you as flawed for being "messed up in the head", if you are exceedingly non-excentric, then other people will view you as flawed b/c you are boreing, if you are a ballence of the two, then you are flawed for not haveing a developed personality. Hyperproductivity is the same, the more productive you are, the less time you have to enjoy life, the less productive you are, the less things in life you have to enjoy, if you are ballenced then you still have less free time and things to enjoy than either extreme.
There is a reason that there is no perfect human being in existance, because there is no way to ballence yourself to become perfect in all demensions, every time you take you give, every time you give you take. The same can be said for the universe as a whole. Sure we're loosing our magnetic field, our sun will one day supper-nova. There are countless astroids flying all over the solar system capable of ending life as we know it... but it was either that or having the solar system staying a nebulious cloud for all eternity, or clapsing instantainiously into a point singularity.
This said, maybe there is no such thing as perfection, only better or worse compromises, if this be the case, maybe one might say God is not perfect, but an excedingly good compromiser. He could not have both perfect morality and freewill, instead he gave freewill, but limited it by a conscience. He could not have conscience with out rules, but he could not have rules without punnishment. He could not have punnishment without fear and suffering, but he could not give life meaning without happyness and ambition to ballence it against. He could not have happyness and ambition without greed, greed is then kept in check by dispair, etc. The world if fucked up and confusing because every ballence creates another emballence.

Society is not perfect, therefore what society considers Pie's flaws to be are irrelevant. Failure is there to balance success, because without failure there is no success, there is only static. Too much failure and attempting to accomplish something becomes too risky. Too little and there will not be enough risk, allowing nearly everyone to succeed nearly all the time, thus making true success (by succeeding beyond the norm) utterly impossible.
I'm not saying Pie should work longer, I'm saying he should use what time is given to him to produce as much as possible, something which shouldn't be terribly difficult for the average ADD person.

In the English language the word success means:
Dictionary wrote:Success:
1. An event that accomplishes its intended purpose.
2. The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted.
3. The favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.
So with that said, you do not have to have failure to have success. Success just means you completed what you started out to do. If I go to make some coffee, and after a little work I end up with coffee then I have succeded. I do not have to have failure for that to happen.
Every action has a consequence.

That's just being pedantic

All I am saying is that you do not have to have failure to have success.
Success is not a comparison between how good you do something, and how good someone else does it, it is just the simple aspect of completing what you wanted to get done. Everyone in the world could do the same exact task, and have the same exact outcome, and as long as it was what they were trying to achieve then they would all have succeded. No one has to fail to make someone else succeed.
Every action has a consequence.
