[Philosophy of Life] How many years does it take to succeed?

There was a young man who wanted to become the most outstanding disciple in Shaolin Temple. He asked the master: "How many years will it take me to be so good?" The master replied: "At least ten years." The boy said: "Ten years is too long. If I put in double the effort, how long will it take?" The master replied: "20 years." The boy asked again: "What if I practice day and night?" The master replied: "30 years." The young man was discouraged. He asked the master in confusion: "Why do you tell me that it will take longer every time I say to work harder?" The master said: "When you only focus on the goal with one eye, then only one eye is left to find the way." There is a famous "Wallenda Effect" in psychology. It is said that an American high-altitude tightrope walker named Wallenda kept saying to his wife before a major performance: "This time is too important, you must not fail." As a result, Wallenda slipped and died during that major performance. Just running towards the goal will slow down the pace of success, and even get further and further away from success.
