This counsel given by Lee with regard to his teachings is particularly pertinent:
“To live is a constant process of relating, so come on out of that shell of isolation and conclusion, and relate DIRECTLY to what is being said. Bear in mind I seek neither your approval nor to influence you. So do not make up your mind as to “this is this” or “that is that.” I will be more than satisfied if you begin to learn to investigate everything yourself from now on.”
– Bruce Lee
What Bruce Lee communicates to you in these pages is for you alone to interpret, and it falls solely to you to make of it what you will.
The title “Striking Thoughts” is taken from a heading that Bruce Lee created for a series of maxims he wrote down after reading the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti’s book First and Last Freedom.
A Book For Free Spirits
Self-actualization is the important thing. And my personal message to people is that I hope they will go toward self-actualization rather than self-image actualization. I hope that they will search within themselves for honest self-expression.
— Bruce Lee
