Men back then were hard working motherfuckers. It's true he was kind of a prodigy, but the guy studied a lot and lived a full life. It's also not a matter of just grinding, but grinding with a purpose. You have to have an objective of what you want your art to look like and grind towards that. Mindless practice will just make you good at practicing.

The next semester, we got a 400 lbs woman and her baby (that was so wierd), a skinny, ugly old dude with ratty beard, a guy who looked like a homeless drunk, and a couple of not-in-the-good-way chubby middle aged women.
