John Henry once raced a steam drill tunneling through a mountain. He beat the machine, only to fall dead from the superhuman effort.<\/p>\n
Sherman James, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan, named a syndrome after John Henry, saying people with it believe that anything can be conquered as long as you work hard enough. They are the ones who, when completing questionnaires, answer yes to statements such as, \u201cWhen things don\u2019t go the way I want, it just makes me work even harder,\u201d or \u201cOnce I make up my mind to do something, I stay with it until the job is completely done.\u201d<\/p>\n
