The Wisdom of Bruce Lee

Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth.

To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential

Taekwondo: Global body pledges fair fight

Taekwondo's world body called Monday for a fair and enjoyable competition at the London Games, to help the Korean martial art stay in the Olympics, following judging controversies which have hit the sport.

"For taekwondo to remain an Olympic sport, competition in London must be fair and enjoyable," Choue Chung-Won, head of the Seoul-based World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), told reporters.

He said the WTF had adopted electronic scoring vests and instant video replays , to ensure transparency in judging.

In London, six cameras will be installed including one in the ceiling. The WTF has also reduced the size of the court.

At the 2008 Beijing Games, fighters earned one point for an attack to the body and two for a kick to the head.

In London, they will get one point for the body, two points for a turning kick to the trunk, three points for a valid kick to the head and four points for a turning kick to the head.

Taekwondo became an Olympic sport in 2000 and will remain so at least until 2016.

But WTF officials are uncertain about the fate of the martial art as the International Olympic Committee plans to reduce the number of core sports from 26 to 25 at its general meeting next year.

Taekwondo may face a challenge from the eight sports under consideration for the 2020 Olympics -- baseball, karate, roller sports, softball, sports climbing, squash, wakeboard and wushu, Yonhap news agency said.

Judging controversies at previous Olympics have not helped taekwondo's cause, it said.

Bruce Lee's $10 Million Dollar Secret

Here's a message which I'm sure you'll love, and find immediate value from.

At Planet Hollywood in New York City, there is a letter hanging on the wall that martial artist and actor Bruce Lee wrote to himself.

The top of the letter, which Lee WROTE and dated January 9, 1970, has stamped on it "SECRET." It starts out, "By 1980 I will be the best known oriental movie star in the United States and will have secured $10 million dollars."

The most interesting part of this letter, however, was the second part -- the part, often omitted when we sit down with ourselves to set goals.

Lee goes on to write, "And in return I will give the very best acting I could possibly give every single time I am in front of the camera and I will live in peace and harmony."

How fascinating that Bruce Lee wrote he would have peace and harmony after he said what he would do to obtain his goal.

There are two kinds of goals: product and process.

A product goal is what you are going to achieve, such as, "I will become a Vice President of Sales by next June," or "I will weigh 118 lbs, wear a size 2, and look fabulous on my birthday."

A process goal is what we will do to get it, which means developing a "prescription for success." This is a plan that winners will follow very closely in their daily work habits and periodically evaluate themselves on.

‘Enter the Dragon’ Turns 40: What You Didn’t Know About Bruce Lee

By Bryan Enk

Behind every great man is a great woman, and for martial arts legend Bruce Lee, that woman was Linda Emery, who married her dashing gongfu teacher in the mid-'60s.

Linda and Bruce were husband and wife until July 20, 1973, when Bruce died of cerebral edema at the age of 32 ... just six days before the Hong Kong release of what many consider to be his greatest cinematic achievement, "Enter the Dragon."
