Bruce Lee quotes

A good post with quotes from Bruce Lee:

Bruce Lee's Top 7 Fundamentals for Getting Your Life in Shape

1. What are you really thinking about today?

"As you think, so shall you become."

2. Simplify.

"It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential."

"If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done."

3. Learn about yourself in interactions.

"To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person."

4. Do not divide.

"Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against."

5. Avoid a dependency on validation from others.

"I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine."

"Showing off is the fool's idea of glory."

6. Be proactive.

"To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities."

7. Be you.

"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it."

Leave My Mess Alone!!

Today on radio* they were talking about merits/demerits of being messy/disorganized.

 

Most great scientists were messy (Flemming had mould grown on his messy table(!), that led to Pennicilin).

Many great professors, writers and politicians are messy.

Neatness prohibits creativity.

Messiness helps discovery and re-discovery (forgotten memories)

Time it takes to organize could be same as time it takes to find something from a mess.

Neat Freaks are often evangelical, self-righteous, stigmatizers of messy people.

Mess represent diversity, Neatness represents monotoniety.

Industry supports Neatness. (drawers, boxes, labels...)

There are people who are Professional Organizers! They have conventions too.

 

Whoosh... it feels good to have gotten reasons to be messy!! :-)

Worry

Worry pretends to be necessary.
