The real life story of a Ladakhi engineer who has got an eminent award recently has an inspiring story to tell. In the arid highlands of the Himalayas, water is scarce and farmers often face acute seasonal shortage of water to grow their crops, which are becoming worse as the climate warms.
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 every day, ten or more hours a day if I have to. How long will it take then?”
The teacher thought for a moment, “20 years”.
