Flex

it's a shame that more people don't know about bruce lee's philosophy. or maybe they do. it just seems to me that everyone knows about his incredible martial arts skills, but not much else. i watched a documentary in my blaxploitation class about lee and his struggle to create the most efficient fighting style. after years of creating and teaching different styles based on efficiency of motion rather than preservation of tradition, he came to the realization that there is no one style that is the best. rather, the ultimate method of fighting is to fight in the 'style of no style,' meaning that to be the best, one should adapt and react to the movements of the opponent. i think this can be easily extrapolated beyond martial arts, to any number of other endeavors, and ultimately to one's life. openmindedness and flexibility, for me personally, are characteristics that should be highly sought after. to be lame and probably rip off some ancient proverbial metaphor, it is the rigid branch that will break during a storm. the flexible one will bend and sway with the wind. corny, i know, but hopefully somewhat salient to the discussion.
