Subject: Re: modelling book
Yes I agree about how intelligent Bruce Lee is/was in certain areas.
I am not a big fan of him by any means...however i dont limit my
reading/study by only learning about people i'm a fan of.
If you've not got "The Tao of Jeet Kune Do"....i would guess you'd
like it. I guess.
The quote "Like a finger pointing away to the moon... don't
concentrate on the finger or you'll miss all that
heavenly glory" comes from the film.....the idea and quote III wrote
comes from Taoism.
"Take what is useful and develope from there"...is a quote from Mr
Lee. And thats one thing he does....he is not concerned (so he says)
with the source, just what works (or what he personally thinks works).
