Bruce Lee died at the age of 32. He was one of the most gifted martial artists that ever lived and didn't believe that tradition had all the answers. He drew inspiration from many sources and upset a lot of apple carts by doing things his own way. He was far from a perfect man, but his drive and charisma are an inspiration that deserve recognition. It's almost always a pleasure to see someone who loves what they are doing, performing it at a high level. That was certainly true with Bruce. He was a perfectionist who learned to write, direct, choreography, design sets, coach and act in his films. The evolution of his philosophy that evolved as part of his martial arts training was fascinating to learn about. I gleaned all of this by watching his 1973 film, Enter the Dragon, as well as the bonus material about his life. I know it isn't fair to compare lives, but I'm 33 now. What have I accomplished with a year more life than he had? I guess I've got my work cut out for me...
