Bruce Lee Zitate

seite 5

„Ich bin nicht auf dieser Welt, um deine Erwartungen zu erfüllen, und du bist nicht auf dieser Welt, um meine zu erfüllen.“

„Fürchte dich nicht vor dem Scheitern. - Nicht Misserfolg, sondern geringes Ziel ist das Verbrechen. Bei großen Versuchen ist es herrlich, sogar zu scheitern.“

„Ein Weiser kann von einer dummen Frage mehr lernen, als ein Dummer von einer weisen Antwort.“

„Balancieren Sie Ihre Gedanken mit Aktion. - Wenn Sie zu viel Zeit damit verbringen, über etwas nachzudenken, werden Sie es nie schaffen.“

„Sei glücklich, aber niemals zufrieden.“

„Was IST ist wichtiger als was sein SOLLTE. Es gibt zu viele Menschen, die “das, was ist” aus einer Perspektive des “was sein sollte” sehen … Umstände? Zur Hölle mit den Umständen. Ich erschaffe Möglichkeiten.“

„Fehler sind immer zu verzeihen, wenn man den Mut hat, diese auch zuzugeben.“

„Wenn Du Dir immer Grenzen setzt, sei es im Training oder sonstwo, wird es sich auf andere Bereiche, auf Deine Arbeit, Dein Leben ausweiten. Es gibt keine Grenzen. Es gibt nur Plaeaus. Und Du darfst dort nicht bleiben, Du musst sie durchbrechen.“

„Ich habe keine Angst vor dem Mann, der 10.000 Kicks einmal geübt hat, aber ich fürchte mich vor dem, der einen Kick 10.000 mal geübt hat.“

„Ein Ziel ist nicht immer dazu bestimmt, erreicht zu werden. Es dient oft einfach nur als etwas, das man anstrebt.“

“Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.”

“Only the self-sufficient stand alone - most people follow the crowd and imitate.”

“You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.”

“I believe in sleeping.”

“Nowadays you don't go around on the street kicking people, punching people — because if you do (makes gun shape with hand), well that's it — I don't care how good you are.”

“Cease negative mental chattering. — If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.”

“Conditioning obstructs our view of reality. — We do not see IT in its suchness because of our indoctrination, crooked and twisted.”

“Faith is a state of mind that can be conditioned through self-discipline. Faith will accomplish.”

“Take inventory of everyone with whom you have contact.”

“The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart; if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between "for" and "against" is the mind's worst disease.”

“What you HABITUALLY THINK largely determines what you will ultimately become.”

“The primary reality is not what I think, but that I live, for those also live who do not think.”

“The Moment is freedom. — I couldn't live by a rigid schedule. I try to live freely from moment to moment, letting things happen and adjusting to them.”

“Life is wide, limitless. There is no border, no frontier.”

“Choose the positive. — You have choice — you are master of your attitude — choose the POSITIVE, the CONSTRUCTIVE. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.”

“When asked what the difference between a karate punch and a kung-fu punch was during his first U. S. screen test in 1965, Bruce Lee replied, “Well, a karate punch is like being hit by an iron bar—whack! A kung-fu punch is like being hit by an iron ball swung on an iron chain with an iron ball attached to the end—it goes WHANG!—and it hurts inside.” Then he stood up and showed exactly what that might look like in a flurry of hands and feet moving so fast they blurred.”

“To be perfectly frank, I really do not.”

“Know the difference between a catastrophe and an inconvenience. — To realize that it's just an inconvenience, that it is not a catastrophe, but just an unpleasantness, is part of coming into your own, part of waking up.”

“To realize freedom the mind has to learn to look at life, which is a vast movement, without the bondage of time, for freedom lies beyond the field of consciousness — care for watching, but don't stop and interpret "I am free," then you're living in a memory of something that has gone before.”

“Knowledge, surely, is always of time, whereas knowing is not of time. Knowledge is from a source, from accumulation, from conclusion, while knowing is a movement.”

“Life is never stagnation. It is constant movement, unrhythmic movement, as we as constant change. Things live by moving and gain strength as they go.”

“The timeless moment. — The "moment" has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.”

“Seek to understand the root. — It is futile to argue as to which single leaf, which design of branch, or which attractive flower you like; when you understand the root, you understand all its blossoming.”

“You have to keep your reflexes so that when you want it — it’s there. When you want to move — you are moving. And when you move, you are determined to move! Not accepting even one inch less than 100 percent of your honest feelings. Not anything less than that. So that is the type of thing you have to train yourself into. To become one with your feelings so that, when you think — it is.”

“Reality is apparent when one ceases to compare. — There is "what is" only when there is no comparison at all, and to live with what is, is to be peaceful.”

“Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning.”

“True thusness is without defiling thought; it cannot be known through conception and thought.”

“For a moment
The surrounding utters no sound.
Time ceases.
The Paradise of Dreams come true.”

“Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.”
