"Fast is fine but accuracy is final. You must learn to be slow in a hurry" -Wyatt Earp

Do you feel this can be applied to more that the gun in the martial arts?

That guy looks familiar, what's that from?  As for what it could be applied to- a lot of things.  Take the office, for instance...I've seen people rush to get this or that report out, but then have to make numerous changes or updates to accurately reflect whatever it is they're trying to get across.  Do it once, do it right and you're ahead of the game as far as these clowns are concerned.

That's a scene from the show 'Numb3rs'. Dr. Charlie Epps (jewish guy with the fro)was played by the same dude who played Mr Universe in Serenity.

Martial arts? Sure. At the most basic:

* Throw 10 punches in a minute, and land none, you lose.
* Throw 1 punch a minute, but square on target, and you win.

A poor example of losing is just throw a FIT like the 'French' & cave into the demands on your Conquerors.
A good example of losing is just throw the fight, but make sure you bet on ALOT of money on the VICTOR (then cash out).  :o
