Martial artist and actor, Bruce Lee, died on this date 45 years ago (July 20, 1973). He was not only an amazing martial artist but a Zen philosopher as well. Here are some words of wisdom from Bruce Lee:
The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Simplicity is the last step of art and the beginning of nature.
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.
Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality.
A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence.
I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.
Using no way as a way, having no limitation as limitation.
