Philosophy Extracts from "TAO OF JEET KUNE DO" (by Bruce Lee)

The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

Art is never decoration, embellishment; instead it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty.

EASTERN PHILOSOPHY: BOOK OF THE WAY (by Lao Tzu)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever increasing tension
leads to catastrophic failure
Too fine an edge
wears away quickly.
Monumental wealth brings insecurity.
Ostentation invites trouble.
Therefore, accomplish wealth and fame,
but recognise that enough is enough.
This is the Way of real success.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The saying says that for real success, you must relax and not show off. Be great at what you do, but be humble about it.
