BRUCE LEE EXHIBITION- “The “moment” has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.”
- “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough: we must do.”
- “Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.”
- “The measure of the moral worth of a man is his happiness. The better the man, the more happiness. Happiness is the synonym of well-being”
- ” Real living is living for others.”
- “Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.”
- “Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence -drop them.”
- “A goal is not always meant to be reached. It often serves simply as something to aim at.”
- “Because one does not want to be disturbed, to be made uncertain, he establishes a pattern of conduct, of thought, a pattern of relationship to man etc. Then he becomes a slave to the patter and takes the pattern to be the real thing.”
- “Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential ‘present’ of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don’t strive to become, but be.”
- “Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.”
- “Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.”
- “To grow, to discover, we need involvement which is something I experience everyday, sometimes good, sometimes frustrating.”
Bruce Lee is a personal hero of mine for he demonstrated what it means to be a truly compassionate human being. He not only gave out advice but actually lived a life according to his values. The fact that he was able to accomplish so much in such a short amount of time gives inspires me greatly. He truly was an “artist of life.”
