I never thought I could learn any sort of wisdom from an actor such as Will Smith, but he surprisingly seems to be a man who excels in positive thinking and also possesses a steely determination to succeed in life.

I always assumed that celebrities usually spent their spare time getting drunk at parties and attending to their looks every second of the day…how wrong was I.

What can we learn from Bruce Lee’s philosophical wisdom of Martial Arts and life in general?

As I have already pointed out in my post ‘Code of Conduct to Living: 4 Rules You Must Follow To Achieve Personal Growth’ we can learn much from his philosophical style ‘Jeet Kune Do’ in regards personal growth, overcoming obstacles and adapting to life’s changes.

Now we come to the subject of self-improvement which was something that Lee voraciously pursued everyday of his short life.  Lee masochistically pushed his mind, body and spirit to their limits trying to achieve perfection itself.

The following video contains some inspirational wisdom to reflect upon, so that with application you can change your life for the better.

I would just like to warn you men out there to restrain your lust and try not to get too distracted by the rather attractive female reciting the quotes, or you will miss something of greater value than just satisfying your desires.

Surely you don’t expect me to tell you how to act upon the many things that you always wanted to do?  Things that you have proudly told yourself and others in the past.

If indeed you are a person of their word, you are then obliged to do just that once those inspirational words have left your mouth.

In any case, better to not have spoken at all and to have just done the thing before doubt and apathy creeps in.

What’s the title of this post?

When there are things you want to do that may contribute towards your own self-improvement in life, just stop talking and thinking about it and do it now! Read more…

The following quote has been an inspiration for me to embrace philosophy as guidance for my own self-improvement in life.  It has also influenced me to reflect on my own life with sincerity and frankness, whilst exploring deep down into my mind trying to find any sort of wisdom that I can learn from.

Being both resonant and moving, Bertrand Russell’s self-reflection of his life and insightful words has given me renewed optimism in the human spirit despite the ignorance scattered amongst humanity.

I can only hope that the next generation can put reason at the forefront of every world problem and be as wise as was old Bertrand.
