I did what I wanted to do and what I've done, I've done with sincerity and to the best of my ability. You can't expect much more from life.

Regret, Ambition, Done

The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time.

He is still hung up on his self-closing resistance, in this case anchored down to reactionary pattern, and naturally is still bound by another modified pattern and can move within its limits. He has not digested the simple fact that truth exists outside all molds; pattern and awareness is never exclusive. Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back.

Jeet Kune Do favors formlessness so that it can assume all forms and since Jeet Kune Do has no style, it can fit in with all styles. As a result, Jeet Kune Do utilizes all ways and is bound by none and, likewise, uses any techniques which serve its end.

Success, Fighting, Style

'What is' is more important than 'what should be.' Too many people are looking at 'what is' from a position of thinking 'what should be'.
