More From Bruce Lee

It is often said that experiments should be made without preconceived ideas. that is impossible. not only would it make every experiment fruitless, but even if we wished to do so, it could not be done. every man has his own conception of the world, and this he cannot so easily lay aside. we must, example, use language, and our language is necessarily steeped in preconceived ideas. only they are unconscious preconceived ideas, which are a thousand times the most dangerous of all.

Taste governs every free - as opposed to rote - human response. nothing is more decisive. there is taste in people, visual taste, taste in emotion - and there is taste in acts, taste in morality. intelligence, as well, is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.

'emptiness' means empty of a separate self. it is full of everything, full of life. the word emptiness should not scare us. it is a wonderful word. to be empty does not mean non-existent. emptiness is the ground of everything. thanks to emptiness, everything is possible.
Mean Self Scare
Empty your mind, be formless. shapeless, like water. if you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. you put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. now, water can flow or it can crash. be water, my friend.

Love, whether it's friendship or more, is like a cup. it fills up drop by drop, until one last drop and the cup is full. the liquid hangs there almost above the rim, hangs there on surface tension alone and you know that one more drop and it will spill over.

We never get upset over what happens. never. we get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. when our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. you are then at peace whatever happens.

We shouldn't be putting tariffs on anything. that hurts working men and women in us. what we should be doing is making our manufacturing more competitive.

Your job isn't to judge. - your job isn't to figure out if someone deserves something or decide who is right or wrong. - your job is to lift the fallen, restore the broken, and heal the hurting.
