"There are no short cuts to any place worth going."
— Beverly Sills



A martial arts student went to his teacher and said earnestly, 
"I am devoted to studying your martial system. 
How long will it take me to master it?" 
The teacher's reply was casual, "Ten years." 
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.
How long will it take then?" 
The teacher thought for a moment, "20 years."
- Zen Story


 P.S:
An earnest desire to learn  something is wonderful,
when it is accompanied by commitment and patience.
The moment it becomes an obsession,
that is when one tends to sabotage oneself.
The more hasty one gets.....
the longer it takes to achieve the goal.
Skipping steps only gives the illusion of speed.
Wishing you an amazing day :)
Namaste,
