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."

Six degrees of separation
Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one "step" away from each person he or she knows and two "steps" away from each person who is known by one of the people he or she knows, then everyone is no more than six "steps" away from each person on Earth.
In nutshell “ we can reach any person of this world by using atmost six connections ”.
When I first heard this term I had no idea about what it is about. Then I consulted my best friend Google and came to know the above definition. Well, it seems true and practical. The world is shrinking at fast pace due to increased social networking, and connectedness.
and on a side note :-
Orkut is based on this concept ..
