In his relentless search for self-understanding and conscious awareness, Bruce Lee produced a lot of valuable messages that apply not only to martial arts but can be applied to life as a whole. A snippet from the quote I will focus on is: “Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose, to accept defeat, to learn to die is to be liberated from it." What did Bruce Lee mean by that? I will talk about 3 points to expand the meaning of the phrase by explaining the philosophical views of Bruce Lee and how it implores us to take our ego out of the equation if we want to succeed, or at the very least, gleam some gem from the experience.
