HOBBIES& INTERESTS

Films, Sports, Martial arts, Computer graghics and animation, music, philosophy, all these interest brings enjoyment and therefore enthusiasm. Inspiration is another important factor to me and
Bruce Lee is someone who continues to inspire me long after his death.
It may surprise those who think of Bruce Lee primarily as a martial artist that his true passion was
philosophy. Even more surprising is the extent of his knowledge of both Eastern ans Western philosophy. Here are a few words from the man himself.

I thought that victory meant beating down others, but I failed to realize that victory gained by way of force was not real victory. When I enrolled in the University of Washington and was enlightened
by philosophy, I regretted all my previous immature assumtions.

The usefulness of the cup is in its emptiness.

A learned man once went to a Zen teacher to inquire about Zen. As the Zen teacher explained, the learned man would frequently interrupt him with remarks like, “Oh, yes, we have that, too...”
Finally, the Zen teacher stopped talking and began to serve tea to the learned man. However, he
kept on pouring, and the tea cup over-flowed. “Enough!” the leaned man once more interrupted.
“No more can go into the cup !” “indeed, I see,” answered the Zen teacher. “If you do not first empty your cup, how can you taste my cup of tea?”

I cannot teach you; only help you to explore yourself. nothing more. ( Bruce Lee)
True observation begins when one is deviod of set patterns; freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond system.
As he matures, a martial artist will realize that his kick or punch is really not so much a tool for conquering his oppenent, but a tool to explode through his consciousness, his ego, his fear, and
all his mental blocks.
