The Feng Shui Detective's Casebook (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
The hermit was the number-one sword-fighter in the world. The student reached the peak and lay down at the feet of the hermit. He said: ‘I must learn the art of sword fighting. How long it will take?’ The hermit said: ‘It may take ten years.’ The student said: ‘I have many things to do back home. If I work two or three times harder than other students, how long it will take?’ The hermit said: ‘Then it will take twenty years.’ The student said: ‘I do not understand. Why it will take longer if I work harder? I am eager to learn. What if I work night and day and holidays too?’ The hermit said: ‘Then it will take thirty years.’ The fastest way to do anything, Blade of Grass, is the correct way. If you do something in a hurried way, it will take longer. From ‘Some Gleanings of Oriental Wisdom’ by CF Wong, part 24. CF Wong read through his story one last time, tweaked a few words here and there, and closed his book with a thud. He picked up his battered briefcase and slid the tattered volume into it.
