李小龍在許多不了解他的人的心中是一個武術明星,武術奇才,連毛澤東和本拉登都喜歡看李小龍的電影。但是他不僅是一位武術技擊家,更是一名武術哲學家。李小龍本身是西雅圖大學哲學系畢業的,其將武術與哲學融合,終有了李小龍的截拳道。李小龍留給世人最大的禮物就是其處事哲學,句句經典。
- A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
目標,不一定總是要達到,目標往往只是用來幫助你瞄準方向。
- A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than can learn from a wise answer.
一個聰明人從愚蠢的問題上學到的東西,要比一個傻瓜在一個聰明的答案上學到的要多。
如果老闆有看懂這句話的話,就會了解多花個幾毛錢請聰明的人材來上班是值得的。
- Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
總是做你自己,表達自己,相信自己,而不是去尋找一種成功的性格還復制它。
- As you think, so shall you become.
你想成為什麼樣的人,就真的為成為那樣的人。
- Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.
當我還是個孩子的時候,我就本能的渴求發展和成長,對我來說,一個“高質量”人類的作用和職責就是真正的開發自己的潛能。
- I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine.
我活著不是為了滿足你的期望,就像你也不是因為我的期望而活著一樣。
- If you always put limit 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, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
如果你給每件事情都設了限,無論是有形的還是無形的,它都會融進你的工作和生活。沒有極限,只有停滯不前,而你千萬別停滯不前,你必須超越和突破。
- If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
若你熱愛生命,就不要浪費時間,因為生命是由時間構成的。
- If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.
如果你花費太長時間去想一件事,那你永遠不會完成它。
- It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
不是一天天的增加要求而是要一天天的減少,減去那些不必要的東西。
這個哲學也是一個非常特別的觀點。在消費市場中,大家都在追求越多越好。但是李小龍很早就認清,我們應該是去過『減法的生活』,而不該老是追求『加法的生活』。
- Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
知識會帶給你力量,但人品會帶給你尊重。
人不會因為高學歷就受到尊敬,斯文敗類到處都是。人會受到尊敬是因為人品的原因。最明顯的例子:許文龍先生。
- Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. 愛情就像著火了的友誼。在開始時是一個火焰,非常漂亮,經常又熱又激烈,但仍然只有光和閃爍。當愛情逐漸長大時,我們的心成熟了,我們的愛變得像煤炭一樣、深深地燃燒且難以抑制的。
這是速食愛情主義者永遠無法理解的。
- Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
如果一個人敢於承認錯誤,那麼一切的錯誤都會被原諒。
- Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
要知道,筆直的樹是最易崩裂的,而竹子或柳樹卻能經得起風的肆虐。
- Real living is living for others. 真正的生活是為他人而活。這就是我們總聽到「施比受更有福。」
- Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.
傻子才把炫耀當作榮耀。
原來電視上那些喜歡大秀名車豪宅的,在李小龍眼中都是傻子。這點我個人非常同意。
- Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against. 不想誰對誰錯,誰好誰壞,不支持,也不反對。
- 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."淨空你的心智, 無框的, 無形的, 像水一樣. 你把水倒進杯中, 它變成杯. 倒進瓶子, 它就是瓶子. 倒進茶壺, 它便是茶壺. 水能細流, 亦能變洪流。 成為水吧 我的朋友。"~Bruce Lee
從李小龍以上的哲學名言,大概可以理解到李小龍的中心思想,就是努力地探索自己,並超越自己。而不當總是想著要變成和誰一樣,或者要為了符合別人的期望,而加以改變自己。像竹子一般地謙虛,像水一樣的柔和,化繁為簡,這就是李小龍的處世哲學。
在這譁眾取寵、喪失意我價值的社會,李小龍遺留給我們的哲學經典明句,成了一條正確方向的指引。
