Bruce Lee was and still is the most influential martial artist of all time.After a major back injury and upset at the lack of decent acting roles coming his way, Lee moved back to Hong Kong in the summer of ’71. In Hong Kong, Lee signed a contract for two films – Fists of Fury and The Chinese Connection.Both of these films received bad reviews from US critics but broke major box office records in Hong Kong. By 1972, Bruce Lee was a huge celebrity in Asia despite not being very popular in the states. He began a Hollywood project, Enter the Dragon, but died a month before its release at the age of 32. When Enter the Dragon was released posthumously, Lee became officially recognized as a film icon. Enter the Dragon earned more than $200 million, but Bruce Lee’s legacy didn’t end there. Despite Lee’s early and mysterious death, his legacy as a martial artist and an actor lives on with the likes of Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris. Even today Bruce Lee lives on and is revered as an actor and a premier martial artist, because he didn’t let Hollywood being unready for a major Asian actor stop him from achieving his dreams. Allow these amazing Bruce Lee quotes to help you achieve personal growth in your own life : 1. " Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it." 2. "Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them." 3. " A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at." 4. " A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer." 5. " I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine." 6. " Simplicity is the key to brilliance." 7. " Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it." 8. " If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." 9. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it become the cup. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." 10. " I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practices one kick 10,000 times."

You can’t read somebody else’s book about some theory on how to do . Some guy who’s been sitting up in his warm office that wrote some book with a nice cup of coffee in his hand. NO – I want to learn from that guy who immersed himself in hell who thought about quitting and leaving, ‘Why am I here?’, ‘Is this worth it?’ and still found out a way to get through it.” – David Goggins

Albert Einstein is the most influential physicist of the 20th century, and just might be the most famous scientist to have ever lived. He was only 26 when in 1905, he had four separate papers published, electrifying the field of physics and rocketing him to global renown. Among them were his ground-breaking special theory of relativity, as well as his famous equation, E = mc². 1. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. 2. Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. 3. Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. 4. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. 5. Let us not forget that human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life 6. Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien 7.The great moral teachers of humanity were, in a way, artistic geniuses in the art of living. 8. A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness. 9. Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion toward men and toward objective things. 10. Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.

From a young age Steve Harvey knew that he wanted to be on TV. He held fast to his dream, against all odds for a stuttering African American boy in the 1960s. His unrelenting pursuit formed one of Mr. Harvey’s life philosophies: “You have to dream big and believe that you will succeed.” Mr. Harvey’s entry into comedy was a leap of faith.

But in addition to his work on TV, radio, stage and screen, Harvey is a dedicated mentor and an inspiring motivator to his fans. “My gift is comedy, but my purpose is to inspire people.” Steve Harvey Quotes On Success & Faith: 1. “Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you’ve got something to share.” – Steve Harvey 2. “God lets you be successful because he trusts you that you will do the right thing with it.

In trying to hurt me, to impede my progress, they would get left behind because they allowed themselves to get sidetracked from their agenda.” -- Steve Harvey

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER is known all over the globe for his many accomplishments: world champion bodybuilder, Hollywood action hero, successful businessman, environmentalist, philanthropist, best-selling author, and California's 38th Governor. This world-famous athlete and actor was born in Thal, Austria in 1947, and by the age of 20 was dominating the sport of competitive bodybuilding, becoming the youngest person ever to win the Mr. Universe title. By generating a new international audience for bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger turned himself into a sports icon. With his sights set on Hollywood, he emigrated to America in 1968, and went on to win five Mr. Universe titles and seven Mr. Olympia titles before retiring to dedicate himself to acting. Later, he would go on to earn a college degree from the University of Wisconsin and proudly became a U.S. citizen. His big break came in 1982 when the sword and sorcery epic, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, hit box office gold. In 1984, Schwarzenegger blew up the screen and catapulted himself into cinema history as the title character in James Cameron’s sci-fi thriller, TERMINATOR. He is the only actor to be in both categories of the American Film Institute’s Hundred Years of Heroes and Villains for roles he played in the film. To date his films have grossed over $3 billion worldwide. In 2003, Schwarzenegger became the 38th Governor of the State of California in a historic recall election, and as governor ushered in an era of innovative leadership and extraordinary public service. As of 2020, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a net worth of $400 million. this list of greatest Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes clearly show that. 1. “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 2. “What is the point of being on this Earth if you are going to be like everyone else?” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 3. “Just like in bodybuilding, failure is also a necessary experience for growth in our own lives, for if we’re never tested to our limits, how will we know how strong we really are? How will we ever grow?” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 4. “For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 5. “Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 6. “The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 7. “The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 8. “The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger 9. “Positive thinking can be contagious.

Although, a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do it justice, as a phenomenal athlete with a unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar.

However, his impact is far greater than awards and championships. He burst into the league as a rookie sensation scoring in droves with an unmatchable first step and acrobatic drives and dunks and concluded his career as a cultural icon. Along the way, he became a true champion who spearheaded the globalization of the NBA with his dynamic on-court abilities and personal sense of style that was marketed to the masses.

Here are Michael Jordan quotes that are ingredients for guaranteed success: 1. “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan 2. “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” – Michael Jordan 3. “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” – Michael Jordan 4. “My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.” – Michael Jordan 5. “You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.” – Michael Jordan 6. “To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve.

Jack Ma Chinese entrepeneur who was head of the Alibaba Group, which comprised several of China’s most popular Web sites, including the business-to-business marketplace Alibaba.com and the shopping site Taobao.com. Ma became interested in the English language as a young boy, and during his teens he worked as a guide for foreign tourists to Hangzhou. Ma failed the entrance exam for the Hangzhou Teachers College twice. (His weak point was mathematics.) He was admitted on the third try, in 1984, and he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English in 1988. From 1988 to 1993 he taught English at the Hangzhou Institute of Electronics and Engineering (now Hangzhou Dianzi University). In 1994, he founded his first company, the Haibo Translation Agency, which provided English translation and interpretation. On a trip to the United States on behalf of the Hangzhou city government in 1995, Ma had his first encounter with the Internet and saw the lack of Chinese Web sites as a great business opportunity. On his return, he founded China Pages, which created Web sites for Chinese businesses and was one of China’s first Internet companies. He left the company two years later, however, partly because of strong competition from the communications company Hangzhou Telecom, which had founded a rival company, Chinesepage. From 1998 to 1999 Ma was head of an Internet company in Beijing that was backed by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. He felt, however, that if he remained with the government, he would miss out on the economic opportunities that the Internet was bringing. Ma persuaded his team at the ministry to go back to Hangzhou with him and found the Alibaba Group, which launched a Web site that facilitated deals between small businesses. Ma was convinced that the small-business-to-small-business Internet market had much greater potential for growth than the business-to-consumer Internet market had. Small businesses paid a membership fee to be certified as trustworthy sellers on Alibaba, with a greater fee being charged to businesses that wished to sell to customers outside China. Growth was rapid; in 2005 Alibaba attracted the attention of the American Internet portal Yahoo!, which bought a 40 percent stake, and in 2007 Alibaba.com raised $1.7 billion dollars in its initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong. Jack Ma has a net worth of $62.8 billion.

Usain Bolt enhanced his already legendary Olympic status with another unprecedented 100m, 200m and 4x100m triple at Rio 2016, a feat that may well never be repeated. The holder of the world records in all three distances and an 11-time world champion, the Jamaican star bid farewell to the Olympic stage by celebrating his 30th birthday on the day of the Closing Ceremony of the Rio Games. Between 16 August 2008 and 19 August 2016, Usain Bolt won 19 Olympic and world championship gold medals in the 21 events he entered, a staggering tally that makes him the greatest sprinter of all time. After winning his third consecutive Olympic 100m title in Rio, the Jamaican great was moved to comment: “Somebody said I can become immortal. Two more medals to go and I can sign off. Immortal.” Then, after completing his “triple-double” with a third straight Olympic 200m triumph, he announced that he wanted to be up there with the very best of them all: “I am trying to be one of the greatest, among Ali and Pele.” And after crossing the line first in the 4x100m final, an elated Bolt commented: “There you go, I’m the greatest. I’m just happy to have done what I came here to do. I’m proud of myself. The pressure is real, but I look at it as an accomplishment.” 1. “Don’t think about the start of the race.” Usain Bolt 2. “Worrying gets you nowhere. if you turn up worrying about how you’re going to perform, you’ve already lost.

Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion of the world in 1986, at age 20. He lost the title in 1990 and later served three years in prison for rape charges. He subsequently earned further notoriety by biting Evander Holyfield's ear during a rematch in 1997. Tyson has gone on to appear in several films and a Broadway show on his life, become a best-selling author and launch a successful cannabis business. 1985, Tyson made his professional debut in Albany, New York, against Hector Mercedes. The 18-year-old knocked Mercedes out in one round. Tyson's strength, quick fists and notable defensive abilities intimidated his opponents, who were often afraid to hit the fighter. This gave Tyson the uncanny ability to level his opponents in only one round, and earned him the nickname "Iron Mike." By 1986, Tyson had garnered a 22-0 record — 21 of the fights won by knockout. On November 22, 1986, Tyson finally reached his goal: He was given his first title fight against Trevor Berbick for the World Boxing Council heavyweight championship. Tyson won the title by a knockout in the second round. At the age of 20 years and four months, he surpassed Floyd Patterson's record to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history. Tyson took part in a total of 58 fights in his professional career. Fifty of those he won, 44 of them being by knockout. Among the fights he did not win, he officially lost six, while two fell into the category of no contest. Tyson has a net worth of $10 million. During his heyday, Mike was one of the most famous and highest-paid athletes in the world. 1. “When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness…I’ve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.” 2. “Discipline, doing what you hate to do but do it like you love it.” 3. “I’m gonna make sure you talk about me, and your grandkids and kids after that gonna know about me…your great grandkids will say “wow, wasn’t that a bizarre individual?” 4. “I’ll fight anybody my trainer puts me in with because I’m confident I can beat any fighter in the world. If anybody can see I’m almost a master at evading punches coming at me.” 5.“I had to persevere because this was my life. This championship, this was the stuff I dreamt of all my life, and I wasn’t gonna be denied.” 6. “Whatever you want, especially when you’re striving to be the best in the world at something, there’ll always be disappointments, and you can’t be emotionally tied to them, cos’ they’ll break your spirit.” 7. “I can quit boxing now and practically go into any kind of business and I’ll be successful just as well as I was in boxing.” – Early on in his career 8. “It doesn’t faze me what anyone says about me. It doesn’t matter what anyone says about me. I’m a totally different entity to what other people think." 9. “We live in a society where we basically live and strive on what people think about us. We’re more visual people so what we see is basically what we believe which is not necessarily true.” 10. “If they don’t have that extreme addict personality, you can never understand how a guy can blow 300 or 400 million dollars. If I have to live at the top of the world, I also have to live at the bottom of the ocean. I don’t know how to live in the middle of life.”
