Though much is taken, much abides

Last weekend I was helping out at the kids' capoeira class, minding the queue of miniature humans while they waited their turn to go and do a handstand or whatnot.

Their conversation turned to the subject of cordas and moving up to one colour or another. 
"She started when she was just little," said one, "that's why she already has a purple belt."
"I'm already nine," said another. "I just hope I can get up to yellow, that's all."
 
What hope, then, for those who begin in their late twenties or thirties?
