What Bruce Lee Taught Me

I’ve loved Bruce Lee since I was a teen. As proof, I submit a photo taken of me and a friend in our dorm room at University of Wyoming.

The taller girl on the right with black hair is Sonja. I’m the shorter one with the red hair. Behind me, to the left, is part of Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee was more than a lean, graceful powerhouse of destruction. He represented strength, flexibility and endurance. No matter how bad things got, Bruce never gave up. As long as he kept fighting, he would win.

The other day I came across a rare video of Bruce Lee telling his philosophical life principals. It’s all what I already knew, but to hear his voice say it makes it more real.

“Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.”  – Bruce Lee
