Bruce Lee

A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, ‘I’ do not hit, ‘it’ hits all by itself.

A quality martial artist is always ready for any move, and trains oneself invincible.

Any kind of racial conflict is artificial. You’ll feel like there is some sort of conflicting idea about certain things, but if you really get to talking about your differences you’ll realize that they don’t exist. I have had similar experiences because I am an American Chinese.

Are you going to make your obstacles stepping stones to your dreams… or stumbling blocks? Because unknowingly you let negativeness, worries, fear, etc., take you over?
