Carlo,

Great article. Every single quote COULD be life transforming, ONCE it is chosen to be a principle to guide ones life by.

I teach people who to discover their spirit, while exploring Native American surivival skills. It’s all the same, to soar in spirit, you have to take care of survival.

Eliminate what isn’t necessary.
Strengthen your mind, body and spirit.
Notice. Notice more.
Notice how amazing you are, and how special each moment is.

Best to you, thanks for the inspiration this morning,

Mr. Twenty Twenty
That guy who really did change his name to the number of perfect vision, because YOU living yours matters!

Thanks for the book tip Bill! I would definitely love to give it a read. And yes, I understand the movie is not completely accurate, but it is based on Linda Lee’s book, and she obviously endorses it as she gives an intro on the DVD and an interview. So I guess that gives it some credibility…

What the movie does do, for those of us who’ve only thought of him as a martial arts legend and movie star, is start to reveal, as you said, the “man behind the legend”. As with many (all) biographical Hollywood movies, facts are changed/tweaked for the storyline…hopefully viewers of these understand that and if interested do more research for the real stories…but I also know that many get their history lessons from Hollywood films, which is quite sad.

For some of the inaccuracies of the movie, check out this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106770/goofs

I’m glad to see that you’ve started to look at the man behind the legend, but i’m sorry to say that, Dragon: the Bruce Lee story, while an entertaining movie was about as far away from a biography as possible while still having him as a character, but if you ever get a chance read his book, The Tao of Jeet Kun Do it’s a good read and a good philosophy book

At first i thought, oh no, another person trading on poor Bruces memory. But hay, great post! Martial arts and travel are also my favorite pass times and martial arts has saved my ass (literally) several times. (turkey, Iran, Thailand at least 6 times and yes, they make the best stories).

Thanks for the comments all – it's funny how sometimes things click into place when you least expect it. Like Bruce Lee and traveling!

I fully agree! His lessons do relate to life as a whole…and I have to admit, I still struggle myself fully adhering to them. Something to strive for…cheers!
