Bruce Lee is one of those iconic figures that so many people seem to be inspired by. Especially people who want to make a motivational point for others. To be fair, he did accomplish a great many different things in his rather short life in order to earn that title. And he IS damn quotable….
One of my favourite pastimes is listening to music. I like to have an album going on repeat in my car while I drive on my commute, when I’m running around town, and when I feel like taking a late night drive. It gives me focus, makes me stronger. And I can drive faster. Okay…
