A martial arts student went to his teacher and said earnestly, "I am devoted to studying your martial system. How long will it take me to master it." The teacher's reply was casual, "Ten years." Impatiently, the student answered, "But I want to master it faster than that. I will work very hard. I will practice everyday, ten or more hours a day if I have to. How long will it take then?" The teacher thought for a moment, "20 years."

I'm gonna guess that the meaning of the story is that there are no shortcuts and looking for them will only take you longer, in this case with tt, some use faster equipment as shortcuts and it leads them to take longer to reach where they want to go.
