Learning and personal development
Even today, I dare not say that I have reached a state of achievement. I'm still learning, for learning is boundless.
— Bruce Lee (1940–1973), Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee’s Commentaries on the Martial Way (1997), Part 6 — from his personal notes, published posthumously
