A Zen student goes to a temple and asks how long it will take him to gain enlightenment if he joins the temple.

"Enlightenment can be achieved here in ten years," says the Zen master.

"Well, how about if I really work and double my effort?" The student asks. 

And the Zen master responds "Ah, then you may achieve enlightenment in twenty years."
