Excerpts from Bruce Lee's quotations
* I will never say that I am the best in the world, but I will never admit that I am the second.
* People, living people and people who create Wushu are much more important and valuable than any established Wushu system.
* The purpose of practicing Kung Fu is not to break stones or boards, but to influence our whole thinking and lifestyle with it.
* It's not a real fight to learn only the ingenuity of someone from a certain sect, even if it is brought to the limit. The so-called maturity refers to the deepest self-awareness, not to be a prisoner of ideas.
* If knowledge follows the traditional pattern, you can only live in the shadow of tradition, and you only know the old way, but you don't know yourself.
* Only when a person has self-esteem can he clearly "guide" himself to the right path. Therefore, people should constantly maintain their dignity, which can explore their potential and promote their work effect. Not only that, we have to repeatedly estimate our potential every day to see if it has increased.
* Sometimes, dignity is not easy to get, and all dignity may be abandoned for some interests; Or for the sake of fame, dignity is ignored. To sum up, what the world is generally enthusiastic about is fishing for fame and reputation.
* It's not enough to go after fame or be conceited, so the first important thing in life is to know yourself.
* Self-knowledge is the most difficult thing, and it is easy for us to find that it is actually full of thorns to give full play to our talents. Therefore, a talented person should try his best to develop his career and force himself to create a new one, and his achievements will last forever.
* The biggest common fault of ordinary people is that they are too complacent and blindly think that they are great, so they lack self-motivation. The other kind of people are too insatiable, insatiable and have no self-discipline, let alone self-vigilance. The greedy man can't hide his ugly face. His body is transparent. He < P > lives a dramatic life, and as a result, he is trapped in the abyss.
* Pride is one of the manifestations of human wrong emotions, while self-esteem is the basic latent consciousness of human beings. Pride is abnormal. When people imagine that they are a leader, that they are more sacred than others, and that they are superior to others, they look down on others. Pride makes people impatient and cringe. Pride is fragile and sensitive. When our confidence is shaken or we feel inferior, pride is the abyss separating people from achievements. In order to boast about ourselves, people will sacrifice their dignity.
* Why are we afraid? This is because we can't act decisively, and once we hesitate, we will shrink back. But if we can make a clear judgment on something, whether it is valuable or not, we will not shrink back.
* It is also a sign of courage to regard something as extremely worthless; When you regard something as an absolute success or take it for granted, it is also a sign of courage, but if you can't do anything about it, it is a flinch. The same is true for the enemy. As long as we inspire ourselves with confidence, even if we fail, we will still win spiritually.
* If you want to increase your confidence and dignity, you can show your talents by taking more practical actions, and at the same time you will know how to get along well with others.
* We must restrain our emotions and not be troubled by them. Bad emotions will only hinder our study or career development, which is also one of the steps to know ourselves.
* I was told that a genius can create his own opportunities. In fact, a person's deep expectation can not only create his own opportunities, but even create his own genius!
* As time goes by, heroes will die just like ordinary people and will slowly disappear into people's memory. And we're alive. We have to understand ourselves, find ourselves and express ourselves.

Socrates, a famous philosopher, regards the famous phrase "Know yourself" carved in the temple of Delphi in ancient Greece as his unremitting pursuit of knowing yourself with an open mind all his life.
Know yourself correctly, actively improve your personality and plan your life scientifically "-Dr. Li Yuan's lecture
Wei Shusheng, a famous expert on Chinese education reform, said that there are two things in life-being a man and doing things. Being a man often falls into two misunderstandings: first, he is arrogant, deifying himself, thinking he is superior, not being a man, and doing things; First, belittle yourself, belittle yourself, think you are inferior, don't be a man, be a ghost. Many tragedies in life are caused by this. Therefore, it is very important for anyone to have a normal heart.
