That is my usual response to people who ask some variant of the question "I've been out for XXX and am starting again" or "I'm starting a new art" followed by "should I have to wear a white belt?"

The advantage to wear a white belt are:

if

- you defeat a black belt, it will make the other guy look bad.
- a black belt defeats you, it won't make you look bad.

When a

- rich guy drives a cheap car, there are many advantage there.
- poor guy drives an expensive car, there are many disadvantage there.

My favorite advantage is the expectation, it's low. The black belt gave it his best and did great... Cool except he is supposed to be a black belt afcoarse it should be good

By using this method, I don't think you can pick up the right girl that you want to marry to.

Google is searching thread titles, not post content, I suspect. But it's pretty close just the same, since although I've made the same statement in person a number of times, I don't think I've posted it anywhere but here.

I don't know where it came from but its a good quote. And its true.

The first part is true. As for the second part, if a rich guy drives a cheap car than he's being a Mr. Scrooge. As for the poor guy driving the expensive car, he probably wouldn't be able to afford it being poor and all.
