Bruce Lee
When someone says the name Bruce-Lee , we immediately think of martial-arts movies and of a thin, wiry man chopping down his enemies with quick movements of his hand and feet.
I recently came across a few quotes by this phenomenal movie star and found that he was quite a great philosopher , thinker and self-help guru. Some of his best quotes are:
- A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
- If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
- Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.
- A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
- I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine.
- A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.
I have read that he has authored some books as well. Have you read any by Bruce Lee?

I saw a documentary about him one time long ago. It mentioned how he was a philosopher. I thought that was interesting about him.

No, I've never read his books. However, I do remember watching him on TV when he was relatively unknown: playing Kato on the TV series The Green Hornet.

I haven't read any of his books.. But looks like it will be interesting.. this is my favorite quote: I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine.

It is amazing how these celebrities are not just actors. Some I see are great cooks, great gardeners and so on.
