李小龙的原名，叫做李振藩，于1940年出生于美国旧金山。一岁时便随父母回到香港，在那里度过童年。年仅十六岁的他，就拜于咏春宗师叶问门下，学习了包括洪拳、太极拳、少林拳等拳术。1957年，他参演了自己演绎生涯的唯一一场文戏《雷雨》。直到1961年，李小龙才因为学术，前往美国学习戏剧、哲学、心理学等多门学科。在美国期间，参演了《青蜂侠》等影视作品。真正让他名声大气的是70年代的几部香港电影，其中包括《精武门》、《猛龙过江》、《龙争虎斗》等等。

然而，天妒英才，1973年这位年轻的武打明星便早早离开人世，为世人留下的，只有他矫健的身影，和各式经典的电影作品。

学哲学的他，更是留下了不少发人深省的名言名句，值得大家深思!

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

错误往往是能够被原谅的，前提是，犯错的人能主动承认错误。

Only the self-sufficient stand alone – most people follow the crowd and imitate.

只有有足够自信的人才敢遗世独立，大多数人都只会随波逐流。

It is not a shame to be knocked down by other people. The important thing is to ask when you’re being knocked down, ‘Why am I being knocked down?’ If a person can reflect in this way, then there is hope for this person.

被别人打倒并不可耻。重要的是，当你被人打倒的时候，会反省自己为何被打倒，只有这样，这个人才有成长的可能。

Don’t pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

不要希冀于简单平稳的生活，要祈祷，就祈祷自己有足够的勇气去面对生活的艰辛。

Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strangle confidence.

不要让负面的思想进入你的大脑，他们是破坏你自信的萌芽。

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

目标，不一定是你必须要冲破的重点线，它更像是指引你前进的方向。

Don’t fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

不要害怕失败。最大的罪恶不是失败，而是漫无目的。只要努力了，虽败，犹荣。

Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

清空脑里的一切，如水一般，成为无形。你把水倒到杯子里，它就会变成杯子的形状;你把水倒到瓶子里，它就会变成瓶子的形状;你把水倒到茶壶里，它就会变成茶壶的形状。水可以细水长流，也可以水滴石穿。成为水吧，我的朋友。

In order to control myself I must first accept myself by going with and not against my nature.

为了控制我自己的身体，我得先顺从自己的天性，而不是和它对着干。

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can.

取得生活战场胜利的往往不是那些身强体壮，身手敏捷的人，而是那些相信自己迟早能够做到的人。

Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.

只是知晓是不够的，我们还要灵活运用;只是情愿是不够的，我们还要有实际行动。

我不怕那些练习了一万种踢腿招式的人，只怕那些把一种招式练了一万次的人。

If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus.

如果你给自己做的任何事情都设限的话，不论是体能上还是其他事，这种心态会影响到你的工作，甚至你的生活。这世上本来就没有什么极限，有的只是平台期。

Simplicity is the key to brilliance.

至简，才是通往成功的钥匙。

Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level than you are proficient. Thus the tensed expert marksman will aim at a level less than his/her student.

如果以你一种紧张的情绪做所有的事的话，你完成的效果肯定不比你自身的能力要好。就连技术精湛的射手，在紧张的情况下，也会发挥失常，甚至连自己的学生都比不过。

Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.

取其精华去其糟粕，并在其中加入自己的优点。

For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.

批评他人，击破他人的缺点是很容易的，但是了解自己的优缺点，却需要一辈子的时间。

Balance your thoughts with action. If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

要保持思想与行动的平衡，如果你花太长时间考虑一件事，你永远都无法把它做完。
