A student went to a teacher and said "I am devoted to studying your martial art system. How long will it take me to master it?"
The teacher replied, "Ten years."
The student said: But I want to master it faster than that. I will work very hard. I will practice every day, ten or more hours a day if I have to. How long will it take then?
The teacher thought for a moment and answered: "Twenty years."
