What for text with the picture. My late instructor used to have a picture on the wall of himself at his first test with the words “ we all start at 10” on it.

Many start but people don’t become black bets just because of talent but from perseverance. I have seen less talented people reach master and young talented people quit.

The white belt is already one step better than the most talented person who never even started.

Every black belt in karate once stood exactly where the white belt stands now — confused, awkward, and unsure of what they were doing. The white belt is not a sign of weakness; it is the symbol of courage to begin. In every dojo, beginners make mistakes, mix up techniques, and sometimes even struggle with the simplest things, but that is part of the journey. What matters is not looking perfect on day one, but showing up again and again with the heart to improve. A white belt who refuses to quit can eventually surpass talented people who give up too early. Karate is built through patience, discipline, and small daily progress. The first fist may look funny, the first stance may feel uncomfortable, but every master once started the exact same way. Treasure Land
