« ACTION | Main | Aviation - Stalls »
Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated by Bruce Lee, who I knew by the movie 'Enter the Dragon'. His dynamic actions enthralled my heart. I found a quote by or paraphrased/used by Bruce Lee in Wikipedia.
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier; it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
I learnt that this quote could have been from J.Krishnamurty paraphrased by Lee. Yet, I started to wonder what would have been the thought foundation of Bruce Lee who has mastered his body and mind in such a way that they operate in so much unison ( those dynamic fight scenes!...how can one forget? )
Tracing Bruce Lee on Wikipedia, I found some more quotes by him or which inspired him. I have mentioned the ones that I liked below. Tribute to Bruce Lee and thanks to Wikipedia for the online collection of such good information.
To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to spend or waste, and it is our decision what to do with it. But once passed, it is gone forever.
Time means a lot to me because, you see, I, too, am also a learner and am often lost in the joy of forever developing and simplifying. If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
Life is better lived than conceptualized.
Cease negative mental chattering. — If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.
