More From Bruce Lee

Thought is not what inhabits a certain conduct and gives it its meaning; rather, it is what allows one to step back from this way of acting or reacting, to present it to oneself as an object of thought and to question it as to its meaning, its conditions, and its goals. thought is freedom in relation to what one does, the motion by which one detaches from it, establishes it as an object, and reflects on it as a problem.

Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. once you change your thought pattern, you change your attitude. once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action. as long as you gotta sit-down philosophy, you’ll have a sit-down thought pattern, and as long as you think that old sit-down thought you’ll be in some kind of sit-down action.

Each individual composes the music of his own life. if he injures another, he brings disharmony. when his sphere is disturbed, he is disturbed himself, and there is a discord in the melody of his life. if he can quicken the feeling of another to joy or to gratitude, by that much he adds to his own life; he becomes himself by that much more alive. whether conscious of it or not, his thought is affected for the better by the joy or gratitude of another, and his power and vitality increase thereby, and the music of his life grows more in harmony.

Like the amazing story of anthony johnson. this man was a slave, then became free, accumulated 250 acres, and even had his own slave, a black man who took him to court in virginia in 1654.that man argued that he should be freed like an indentured servant. but johnson, who we believe was a pure african from angola, said, "no way, you're my slave." and the court agreed.

A man can be a hero if he is a scientist, or a soldier, or a drug addict, or a disc jockey, or a crummy mediocre politician. a man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive"; or because he is cruel. wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture - in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.

A little more patience, a little more charity for all, a little more devotion, a little more love; with less bowing down to the past, and a silent ignoring of pretended authority; brave looking forward to the future with more faith in our fellows, and the race will be ripe for a great burst of light and life.
