Quick Learner

Today i want to share one of my favorite short zen story. Once there was a young man who was very keen to learn martial art. Always looking for a master who can teach him martial art. After long his his searching he finally found one. Then he went to this master and ask anxiously,  “I am devoted to studying your martial art system. How long will it take me to master it.” The teacher’s reply was casual, “Ten years.” approximately. Impatiently, the student answered, “But I want to master it faster than that. I will work very hard. I will practice everyday, ten or more hours a day if I have to. Then how long will it take?” 
The teacher thought for a moment and then replied  “Then it will took 20 years.”
