If he or she really goes about it in earnest, anyone can cultivate ability in ten years, I believe. Even in one year, shortcomings can be changed into good points if only we set our aims high enough. Continuing for ten years, we can become outstanding indeed ... There is no limit to our shortcomings. Until we die, we should spare no time or effort in changing our weaknesses to merits.
