Here are a few of my favorite Bruce Lee quotes that I find helpful as a source of inspiration:
"The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be."
"It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential."
"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."Obey the principles without being bound by them.
"Fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
"Knowing is not enough we must apply. Willing is not enough we must do"
"Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light."
"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.""To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person."
"A goal is not always meant to be reached. It often serves simply as something to aim at."
"To grow, to discover, we need involvement which is something I experience everyday, sometimes good, sometimes frustrating."
Instead, he was saying that really successful people feel the same boredom and the same lack of motivation that everyone else feels. They don't have some magic pill that makes them feel ready and inspired every day. But the difference is that the people who stick with their goals don't let their emotions determine their actions. Top performers still find a way to show up, to work through the boredom, and to embrace the daily practice that is required to achieve their goals.
It is inspirational! We should add the FastCap videos to our book club viewing, and act on each one as we watch it. Would there be a better way? "Leave everything better than you found it" I love that!
True confidence-as opposed to the false confidence people project to mask their insecurities-has a look all its own. One thing is certain: truly confident people always have the upper hand over the doubtful and the skittish because they inspire others and they make things happen.
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't-you're right. - Henry Ford
