The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

good evening everybody tonight's here is entitled uh how to be rebbe akiva now uh i don't want any complaints if people leave this year and they fail to be rebikiva as as a result of not being able to achieve that level of course none of us will be ruby akiva but each one of us in our own way has the ability to do what rebbi akiba did and that's what we want to speak about tonight i guess everybody who comes to osamaya has a little bit of the rebbi akiva in them because all of us have started late some of us started later than others and as you know there's a famous madrish it's actually obviously rabinasan which describes what happened rabbi kiva's story so how did rebbi akiva start of course all of the tourism pair that we have the oral torah comes to arabia kiva how did ruby akiva start off so he was 40 years old and he never learned anything and one day he was sitting by a well a stream and he saw that there was this water dripping onto this stone and the the drips over this vast period of time had actually carved out a huge indentation in the stone and he was very he looked at this and he made a caldecoma an a40uri argument and the argument in his mind ran like this stones which a stone which is very hard and yet something very soft can hew it it's not there's nothing softer than water if water can make an impression can carve out something which is very hard harder stone so surely the torah which is as hard as iron how much the more can it make an impression on my heart which is at the end of the day only flesh and blood and immediately he went and he learned the balay musa
