Hello friends
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco but his family moved back to China while he was a small child. He grew up learning the martial arts and acting and found a way to combine his two loves into a unique artistic expression. He came back to America and began to teach his new artistic form of karate. During his struggling days he wrote a "major aim'' sheet, which detailed his lifetime goals and dreams. His top-priority goal was to be the highest paid and best known Asian actor and martial artist of all times.
He struggled for a while after the cancellation of The Green Hornet and soon he went back to China, where he began making martial arts movies. The movies became hits and he became a major success in China. The same producers and movie makers who had turned him down in America were now calling and making him offers. He was
such a big star everywhere else that he was able to leverage his popularity into a contract that made him the highest paid Asian artist of all times. Shortly after finishing Enter the Dragon he died from hypersensitivity to pain reliever, yet he had reached his goal and "major aim.'" His stardom continued after his death with a hit movie and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
The main point to take from this story is that life is very unpredictable and there's not a lot to depend on except your dreams and your faith. If you can dream, believe in those dreams, go after those dreams, set goals (or in this case major aims), then you can do incredible things! As Bruce Lee proved, dreams can come true!
There was one quote from that Bruce Lee movie that made an indelible impression on me. He said, "When I came over on the boat, I knew that this was an 'idea place. A man with an idea and desire can do anything!"
I implore you to dream big dreams, think big thoughts, let your min sour and create new ideas. And you will see that dreams can, AND DO, COME TRUE!
