A young man eager to become a master swordsman journeyed to the home of the greatest teacher of swordsmanship in the kingdom. He asked the teacher, “How quickly can you teach me to be a master swordsman?” The old teacher replied, “It will take ten years.” Unsatisfied, the young man asked, “What if I am willing to work night and day, every day of the year?” the teacher replied, “In that case, it will take twenty years.”
The teacher’s main point is that an important quality of a master swordsman is
(A) humility
(B) willingness to work hard
(C) respect for one’s elders
(D) patience
(E) determination

It's very unlikely that this problem is from an LSAT exam (or from any material related thereto). It is of a type altogether different from anything that has ever appeared on the LSAT.
More importantly, this problem also has no relevance to the GMAT exam, and so does not belong on this forum. (Of all the GMAT problem types, it comes closest to an RC detail question — but the required connections are far too abstract for the GMAT, whose RC detail questions are invariably based on CONCRETE details.)

Not a GMAT problem but the crux of it is this - The young man is eager to complete his training in less time (less than 10 years). That shows impatience. The teacher then tells him that in that case he will likely take 20 years implying that if he is not patient, he will likely try to hurry things which will lead to incorrect learnings and then he will need to un-learn that and then after learning the importance of patience, he will learn properly - and hence all this will take him even longer than the time needed by a patient person.
So the teacher's main point is that patience is an important quality of a master swordsman.
