I was expecting a good laugh, when I clicked on the headline “Bruce Lee’s Top 20 Tips for Living a Successful Life”. Turns out, that Chinese guy was not only good at hitting people on the head, but also nails when it comes to, well, living a successful life. All you have to do is compile his quotes to a meaningful set of advices. My favourite: Don’t think outside of the box, kill the box.
