Let us take learning. When we think about learning, in order to stand in an authoritative position in one kind of area you must study and complete a specialized course. Even if you do business, you will not succeed unless you go through a special course in that area. The same applies to a country.

You need to do that in order to teach the correct things. You don't necessarily need to study, but if you want to go to the very deepest place you can know by digging into it. Then you can be the leader. (67-231) There are famous basketball players, football players or soccer players in the world, but do those players easily become champions of their country? Those champions are specialists. They are the best specialists. Do those specialists become specialists by just sitting down saying, "I'm going to be a specialist"? They have to do the same thing ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times, ten thousand times. The more that number is, the greater that specialist becomes (81-135)
