don't let your ego get in the way of just going out, training, learning and having fun.

There is such a pre-occupation with the color of your belt compared to the next guy......
You will get beat by guys "lower" than you and you should be able to catch guys that have more experience then you too.

Training is training, if you don't risk going for certain moves, you won't get better. Training is where you lean from your mistakes. And we all make mistakes but that's a part of learning to get better.

Even in tournament competition, if you get beat, shake the hand of your opponent and learn from your mistakes.
If you win, enjoy the moment and I'm sure you didn't do everything perfect and strive to keep going and doing better.
