BRUCE LEE
Bruce Lee was a legend. He was a martial artist, philosopher, an actor and a filmmaker who inspired millions of
people in their lives. He was one of the most influential
martial artists of all time and remains a pop culture icon to

the most influential people of the 20th century. Bruce Lee’s
quotes are not only inspiring, they are also thoughtful and
impressive. Within these quotes, there are several life lessons we can all learn from.
Here are the 7 life lessons you can learn from the quotes of
the dragon:
1. Focus is the key to success
“The successful warrior is the average man, with laserlike
focus.” – Bruce Lee
If you want to succeed, focus on the tasks you should do. Set
up a distraction free environment when you’re working. If you
know that you will most likely get distracted by your smartphone, keep it in another room when you are working. Or
disconnect it from the internet.
We can’t deny the fact that most of us have short attention
spans, but, we can do something about it. Find a way to help
yourself concentrate. Set a schedule for yourself to disconnect
from the world and focus on the most important tasks at hand.
2. Make good use of your time
“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made

past? Doing things that are meaningful to you, things which
add value to people around you or did you just procrastinate

character, in some ways are more important than knowledge. vvvvvDo you like people who are arrogant or do you
prefer people who are kind-hearted? The answer is obvious. No matter how intelligent you are, it doesn’t matter
that much when it comes to earning respect from others. It
is your character which counts!
4. Set a goal and aim for it
“A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves
simply as something to aim at.” – Bruce Lee
A goal is our target to aim at. It is our source of motivation.
Having a goal gives us a clear direction in our lives. We aim
for it and work towards it. It gives us a clear destination
in our lives. But the main point here is that goals aren’t
