Yeah, I think I see where you're going with this. It makes sense.

[Athrun figures that what Yumi is getting at is gradual improvement over time simply from working at something. Do something enough, and one will inevitably improve -- it's just the speed at which improvement comes that differs for people.

Good timing. I don't know about you, but I'm very hungry.
