Warm greetings to everyone. Sharing moment. Many days of holidays brought many days of values as well. Mama went travelling. Leaving me to my second uncle. My uncle knows me well. He knows that I love reading. Therefore, everynight, he would bring me to BDC. And with that reason, I feel the popular bookstore become my mind-charging place. I still remember how I studied history for 3 hours at the bookstore.
And then I saw this book:
Which is written by Dr.Hew, a man who salute Bruce Lee everyday ke wakes up. Dont laugh. If you read the book, you will understand what I mean here.
What is learnt cannot be unlearnt. And what is the purpose of reading? Experience. A person's life experience. Some people spent their whole life to gather all their valued experienced on a book. If you wanna know the purpose, ask them. And that's why a book's content is always more expensive than its price. Back to the topic. I watched all Bruce's movies. And what did I know? He's a very excellent actor. He can express words through his actions perfectly. No kidding. Go and watch his movie.
And now, I finally know he is not only physically strong. But look at his inner side, you will be enlightened. He studied philosophy in university, and had a book collection of around 2500 pieces, which consists of philosophy, religion, martial arts, life. He authored 3 books to introduce martial arts. He is a man who always have faith in himself. He was once injured terribly and doctor predicted he wont be able to touch martial arts again. For others, it would be a critical punch on their hearts. But not to Bruce Lee. As he's lying on sick bed, he came out with a more perfect fighting in Jeet-Kune Do. And his strong will, he used 6 months to recover his legs. After 6 months, he went back to his Jeet-Kune Do life again. If there's a will, there's no impossibility. Perhaps with this kind of mindset, his spirit is glued to our hearts, until today.
If you think Bruce's legend all depends on luck, I will give you a slap now. In his teenage, Bruce was a 100% gangster. If he sense anyone who is not happy with him, he would look for that guy and give him a few puches on the face. And so, everyone in the school were afraid of him. But soon or later, he was sent to America because his dad fears his son would be in danger. Life in America wasn't easy. Racism. Financial. One day, he could not understand why did he fight so much. What is the purpose of winning in a fight? And thus, he chose philosophy in university. He found philosophy in fighting. Combined them as one. That's why the world exists Jeet-Kune Do today. Okay. If you wanna know more about him, get this book! Thing will be boring if I pop everything out here.
From Bruce Lee, I learnt a spirit. A spirit to live as yourself. Dont limit yourself in forms, styles that has been past down age by age. In this world, everyone exists for a reason. And we all are looking for this reason everyday until the day we close our eyes. Everyone has different reason. Don't and NEVER follow other's reason. Look for your own reason and live a life of your dreams. Let the spirit of Bruce ROCK ON!
I love this saying. Knowing is not enough, we must apply: Willing is not enough, we must DO!
You know what I want to think of myself? As a human being. Because, I mean I don't want to be like "As Confucius say," but under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens that people are different.
Don't think, feel....it is like a finger pointing towards the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory!
Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely — lay your life before him.
There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
Running water never grows stale. So you just have to 'keep on flowing.'
The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a pattern of systems.
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.
– Bruce Lee.
