Why Bruce Lee is such an enduring icon, at least to me, the greatest...you'll love this one!
So, why Bruce Lee? Was he a saint? A prophet? A genius of some kind? Bruce wasn't a saint, I am sure of it, it is possible that he cheated on his wife, just as it is possible that he was a model husband, it is possible that he never did drugs, or it is possible that he did cocaine regularly in Hollywood parties, after all, if I understand correctly, he was quite a bad boy as a kid and adolescent. Did he really win the fight with Wong Jack Man? Was he really such an unbeatable fighter? or was it all just hype? He studied philosophy, but was he actually a solid, quality philosopher? I have no idea. And it doesn't matter, because whatever the medium, the message of Bruce's life impacted me and innumerable other people on earth in such a positive way that whatever the actual truth, it doesn't change the essence and power of the moral, cultural and philosophical relevance of his brief, well lived life.

Lissa MonètPublished 8 days ago in MotivationHow Alvin Ailey transformed my life
When I was a young child, my mother put me and my older sister in both gymnastics and dance classes. My sister was an amazing gymnast. She was so good at it that one day while watching her class, I tried to copy what she was doing. I fell and broke my arm. That was the decision-maker for me: I didn’t want to be a gymnast like my sister anymore. I would be a prima ballerina. I didn’t know it then but Alvin Ailey would be a major influence in my life.
