Aside from being a phenomenal & the greatest martial artist, most dont know Bruce lee was a deep philosopher in life , A honorable man which lived by his principles and practiced what he preached... after finishing reading his book titled striking thoughts, I decided to share some gems i stumbled upon from his book & other quotes that i find interesting from his speeches. ፩. “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ፪. “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” ፫. “If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” ፬. “A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.” ፭. “If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, youll never get it done. Make at least one definite move daily towards your goal.” ፮. “The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.” ፯. “Im not in this world to live up to your expectations and youre not in this world to live up to mine.” ፰. “Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.” ፱. “Self-knowledge involves relationship. To know oneself is to study one self in action with another person. Relationship is a process of self evaluation and self revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself – to be is to be related.” ፲. “If there is a God, he is within. You dont ask God to give you things, you depend on God for your inner theme.” https://youtube/watch?v=VqHSbMR_udo /Zeraf Books - ዘራፍ ቡክስ/
