We can see through others only when we can see through ourselves.
-- Bruce Lee
About the Quote
It's been said that "game knows game" and "it takes a thief to catch a thief." The better we learn about ourselves, the better we can recognize qualities in people. Part of this is being honest about our own assets and liabilities, our own strengths and weaknesses. The better we know ourselves, the better we can see how other people true are.
Some Information about Bruce Lee
Li Jun Fan, the Chinese name for the man known to the world as Bruce Lee, was born in San Francisco, California, US on 1940-November-27. He died in Hong Kong on 1973-July-20.
Bruce Lee is best known as a martial artist who became an international movie star thanks to his skills as both a martial artist and an actor. He had set the gold standard by which all future actors in martial artists would be comapred.
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco, but he spent his youth in Hong Kong. His father was an opera singer and a part-time actor, and Bruce Lee entered the entertainment industry as a child. In those days, Lee's acting roles were usually for street urchins or juvenille delinquents.
In his teenage years, Lee spent his time with Hong Kong gangs and learned kung fu as a way to defend himself better. During this time he also started dance lessons; these helped him refine his footwork and balance. He learned dancing well enough to win the 1958 Hong Kong cha-cha championship.
Lee's parents were concerned about the negative influence of gang life on him, so they sent him back to the United States. He lives with family friends in Seattle, Washington, US. After finishing high school he attended the University of Washington where he studied both philosophy and drama.
