This is why great artists have been doing what they do since they
were kids, because that's where they had the *time* to pursue
their interest. If they don't, they don't have time later on.

But there's people who practice the same amount of time but reach
very different levels.

Like who?

How do you explain that?

It's either lack of interest or lack of time. Either they aren't practicing the
same amount of time or they are, but they're not as interested as the guy who
ended up better skilled at it.
