There was a student who was always looking for shortcuts in learning. His teacher told him a story of a man who wanted to build a house quickly. He used cheap materials and took shortcuts. When the storm came, the house collapsed. The wisdom is that in learning or in life, there are no real shortcuts. We need to put in the effort and use the right 'materials' to build a strong foundation for our future.
