Bruce Lee once remarked, “Hoping life will treat you kindly just because you’re a good person is like expecting a tiger not to attack you because you’re a vegetarian.” Life doesn’t adhere to notions of fairness—it simply unfolds. Instead of waiting for justice , you must take action , adapt , and confront challenges with resilience and determination. #motivationquotes #motivational #motivationalspeaker

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you.  The Power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass. 🙏🏽

Remembering Bruce Lee on the 50th Anniversary of his death Each year when July 20 comes around, I remember three things: Bruce Lee died in 1973; Man landed on the moon in 1969; It's Rudy Jandoc's birthday. I tell my kids my three heroes were born days apart in 1940: John Lennon, October 9; Bruce Lee, November 27; my father, December 2. The intersections: My dad took me to watch "Enter The Dragon" on the big screen. Per Wikipedia, the film was released August 19, 1973 in the USA. I'm guessing we watched after my sixth birthday. It was the first father-son outing (just my dad and me) that I remember. I was mesmerized while watching. I wanted to be Bruce Lee.  Before we moved to the USA, we had a dog named Ringo. Yes, The Beatles and John Lennon's drummer.  Bruce Lee Statue The 7-foot bronze sculpture of Bruce Lee was created by an unknown artist in Guangzhou, China. It was transported to Los Angeles, California after a five-year effort by Lee's daughter Sha...

Happy birthday to one of my heroes ever since my Dad took me to the theater to watch 'Enter The Dragon.' Watching 'Enter The Dragon' was the first father-son outing that we had, at least in my memory.  They say "all good things come in threes."  My three heroes were all born in 1940: John Lennon - October 9 Bruce Lee - November 27 my Dad - December 2

Moving, be like water; still, be like a mirror; respond like an echo.

Watch: Imagine Here's a Facebook Memory from October 9, 2015: So I'm waiting in the lobby of Kaiser Hospital in Vallejo. A man sits across from me and says, "You have two cellphones." I nod my head. He adds, "They don't have much technology in India." Dude must think I'm Indian. I said, "Sure they do." He continues, "India is very filthy. Mexico is filthy too." I guess he's not sure what ethnicity I am. I try to shift the conversation since I know the guy will keep talking even if I ignore him. Me: Do you like baseball? Him: Yeah! Me: I'm from Chicago so I'm rooting for the Cubs. Him: In the ALDS? Me: N LDS Him: N is my least favorite letter in the alphabet. (This must be my lucky day). Me: Why is that? (Giving him the benefit of the doubt) Him: Isn't it obvious? There's a word that starts with N. Me: Night? Him: You know Jay Z ? He calls himself Jigga Man . He found a way. Me: (I ignore the guy, b...

Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. 💪🏽 Bruce Lee

Like everyone else, I'd find out later the Kung Fu series was based on Bruce Lee's idea, only for Hollywood to steal his idea, and cast a white man as a Chinese Shaolin monk! But hey, I'll watch and root for the new Kung Fu series! nothing more boneheaded, shitty, and racist than Hollywood shutting out Bruce Lee, only to steal his ideas and recast David Carradine in his roles https://t.co/TtRxggM6Ze & https://t.co/2tzcUB6rTk pic.twitter.c...
