Bruce Lee's Philosophy



Even though Bruce Lee is best known as a martial artist and actor, Lee majored in philosophy at the University of Washington. Lee himself was well-read and had an extensive library. His own books on martial arts and fighting philosophy are known for their philosophical assertions both inside and outside of martial arts circles. His eclectic philosophy often mirrored his fighting beliefs, though he was quick to claim that his martial arts were solely a metaphor for such teachings. His influences include Taoism, Jiddu Krishnamurti, and Buddhism.  
  • "To tell the truth....I could beat anyone in the world."
  • "If I tell you I'm good, you would probably think I'm boasting. If I tell you I'm no good, you know I'm lying."
  • "Fighting is not something sought after, yet it is something that seeks you."

And you thought RSS was the best thing about blogs, the advantage they have over a standard website without a feed. But think about it for a second.
If your reader uses a feed reader, he may really never come to your blog. It is too easy just to read your post from their reader.
And this causes your blog to get less traffic. Less traffic means less revenue from your blog. And you don’t want that. You built a blog for visitors.
