Master skill in anything takes years to acquire and only after mastery can the true meaning of the craft be fully understood, engaged and made meaningful. It is also where the deepest secrets are revealed, the greatest questions pondered and the most sincere work is begun. The great difficulty of the master teachers is to get the student to work clumsily along while the teacher is sculpting a vision of what lies ahead to student minds and hearts that are unable to even imagine it. Lighting a fire which will compel a student forward to successfully practice for years to acquire something that lays distantly in the future in hearts that cannot imagine that future is the point of all great teaching.
