Bruce Lee Manifesto

Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now, you put water into 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. Now water can flow, or it can crash.

Be water, my friend.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own

The more we value things, the less we value ourselves.

Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.

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.
