I really can’t believe it would take any longer than nine years to master something.

great news! 5 more years to go!

but then again, it depends on what you do. I wonder if I’d trust say, a brain surgeon who’s only been practicing a couple of hours a day for ten years. I think they do more like 10 hours a day for 12 years or more…

yo - you can squeeze that last year in thee 9 by waking up a bit earlier every day ;-)

jeff - your case probably proves it can sometimes be done in 5 years :-)
