“In order to taste my cup of water, you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is useful? Because it is empty.”
Bruce Lee crafted that quote as a guide for other martial artists who were seeking the truth about what works in a real fight.
