Ummmm... wow!

I personally HATE learning foreign languages.  I know it is some for
fun, but that and writing a novel certainly is not in my list of life
goals.  If those are your goals that is great.  I encourage you to do
so, but you should not judge those who do not list them as goals.

I play the violin.  I don't judge others for lack of knowlegde playing
that instrument.

The idea is not that you should work more, it is just that you should 
consider the consequences of your habits.  It's your choice.  Do you 
really prefer to spend those 15 years of effort on a video game than to 
spend them on home repairs, learning French, writing a novel or learning

to play the piano?  It's your choice but I'm just pointing out that by 
playing the video game you are choosing not to learn French, not to fix 
your drywall, not to write that novel and not to learn to play the
piano.

In addition to being fun for you, all the work you do is improving your 
programming skills and thereby increasing the probability of your future

success as a computer programmer.
