The Obligatory Bruce Lee Post

Ok, ok. I cave. I've seen too many Bruce Lee posts of late, and I need to say something about it.

Let's start with the following from Daniel Miessler. Not only is that post really good, and has a great music video featuring Lee, but the first comment contains a link to a "Lost Interview" of Lee's I had found a day earlier.

Now today, I check my feed reader, and see a Bruce Lee post from Amir Salihefendic. This one, oddly enough, contains the same metacafe link I had above, but also has some really fun quotes about Lee himself.

Now it's my turn to contribute. While I can't help but think that Lee has become an almost mythical figure in most people's eyes who "no one will ever top", and it leads to a lot of excess sensationalism, I can still appreciate his outlook and philosophy.

To illustrate this, let's see the entire Lost Interview with Bruce Lee (EDIT: Stage6 javascript removed due to odd performance)

If I tell you I'm good, you would probably think I'm boasting. If I tell you I'm no good, you know I'm lying.

Bruce Lee

An interesting quote that really demonstrates his humility.

And I will conclude this with one of the important things anyone can take away from this interview:

All knowledge is ultimately self knowledge.
