Some quotes from Bruce Lee that can be related to martial arts and life.
"One cannot express himself fully and totally when one is imposed by a partial set structure or style. Combat "as is" is total, including all "that is" as well as "that is not," without favorite lines or angles or angles, having no boundaries, always fresh and alive, is never set and constantly changing."
You should never set yourself to a certain way of thinking, always be ready and open to deal with anything that may come at you. Don't be stuck in a certain way of thinking you may block yourself from leaning something. Life is short get what you can from it, enjoy.

The difference between wasting time & spending time: "To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner, to waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to either spend or waste and its our decision what to do with it. But once passed it is gone for ever." Bruce Lee
Use your time wisely.
