Bruce Lee
Image
Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level than you are proficient. Thus the tensed expert marksman will aim at a level less than his/her student.
Bruce Lee
Image
For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.
Bruce Lee
Image
I've come to understand that life is best lived, not conceptualized.
Bruce Lee
Image
Its not what happens that counts... It's how you react.
