Summary

Bruce Lee's legacy was so powerful that it lives on through his daughter, Shannon, and the foundation named for him. He passed when she was just four, but his legend reverberates through books, writings, students, fans and of course films. We've all heard the famous quote "Be like water, my friend…" but do you know the story behind it? It arose at an epiphanic time in his life when he was not very water like. It took a trial for him to make the decision that his followers are all benefitting from to this day.

Lessons:

1. Be like water… 

2. The medicine for your suffering is within you. 

3. The mind is a fertile garden that will grow what you choose whether weeds or flowers.
