At the Bruce Lee Educational Foundation we respect the role that ideas have taken in shaping history - for better and for worse.
Good ideas beget good achievement - but great ideas beget great achievement.
Consequently, it was only when man applied his defining attribute to life issues that he would be envisioning and fulfilling his goals and realizing his ambitions. A successful society, then, is one in which man's creativity is allowed to flourish, thereby allowing new approaches to situations to manifest, new directions to be explored and new data to be integrated into our existing knowledge banks. And, by extension, ideas are a touchstone of a nation's potential for success. As Bruce Lee pointed out, the reason that America was as successful as she is, was because of the value she placed on the role of ideas of her citizens. It is a fact that labor and thrift produce a competence, but fortune, in the sense of wealth, is the reward of the man who can think of something that hasn't been thought of before.
