I know, I know... you can't stroll down 3 finger strokes on instagram without rolling over another landscape shot with a bold-text motivational quote preaching better life mantra at you. But whether it’s a quick pick up in enthusiasm or words to lead your life by, here is a list of my favourite quotes:

- Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own.
- Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

Bonus Quote:
I said empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. These are all quote from the same man. He lived a short but very impactful life. He is remembered today as the figure who popularised Kung Fu around the world. He would share life-changing wisdom every chance he would get. Bruce Lee died at the age of 32, but through his words, his movies and his combat style of Jeet Kune Do his memory and his driving passion will endure. |
