Many here, but the most influential was Bruce Lee. Not only for the fighting skills and movies, but more for the Philosophy. Some of which I have taken as my own. Most influential for me is:
"Absorb what is useful,
Discard what is not.
Add what is uniquely your own." --Bruce Lee
Enjoy! and "Be like water..."

Whoever don't think of Bruce Lee when they're drinking a glass of water can't be trusted.
Lol, why do you day that?
Cuz he's got that infamous line of his "be like water." So it's common I'm holding water, or see a glass of water and how perfectly level it is, just still and fluid. That's Bruce Lee! "Like water."
Oh, now I get what you mean
Hahaaa...You are fun man 🤩 And if I drink lots water each day, Can I be like him? 🤣
Nope! I do that now, doesn't make me any closer to Brucle Lee, I just pee regularly.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's amazing how people only see things from one angle. They see a person. A martial artist. An actor.
When in actual fact a study of the man, the true man, can reveal so many things that will help a person navigate their own lives, and not just with respect of Bruce Lee, but just about everyone.
There are influences everywhere...We just need to see them, then have the courage to apply the ones that fit.
Bruce Lee was an incredible HUMAN and a role-model-influencer-leader-master-teacher in just so many ways.
It makes me wonder if we all lived a little more boldly, a little more colourfully and a little more publicly, how much might WE inspire and motivate others??
Pondering.
If we look more intently around us there are shining examples and influences everywhere. We tend to get caught up in things that don't matter though, mostly, the noise and inconsequential details that society presents us, and so miss the little gems laying about that would could pick up.
With Bruce Lee some just see the martial artist, the fighter...He was much more.
Colourfully/boldly/publicly yes.
Honestly, generously, selflessly, humbly, passionately, simply...All the ly's really. We all have the power to empower others, to motivate and inspire. Some chose to make it happen, and some do the opposite. It's a choice.
That was a Bruce Lee response.
Lol, and now I'm off to martial arts some planks of wood and a few bricks.
Oh @ksteem Bruce Lee definitely a super star and talent man. I'm a big fan of his kungfu movies and I never bored of watching his films again and again since I was little. My childhood CRUSH 😍
This is an interesting one.. I realize now that I don't really know anything about Bruce Lee... Other than the most famous scenes or pop culture jokes.
Might be time to look into him... But where does one start?
Google mate, start there. Search Bruce Lee quotes. You'll soon see how wise he was. That will lead you to the story of his life and you'll learn that there's more to the man than breaking wood with his hand. Do yourself a favour in life and get it done.
Yes indeed, "Boards, don't hit back" --BL
No much hit back after old Brucy boy delivered a punch. 😉
Ah yes, now here is someone that has influenced many around the world, and with quotes like that there's no wonder.
I find it amazing that some people can be (feel) so aimless and unfocused when there are shining examples of triumph and success over adversity to learn from. I guess it comes down to choices. People say they can't acheive without opportunity...Some create the opportunity for themselves...And acheive, or fail and try again until they do..
The road map is there, others have come before us, and yet so many choose to ignore it and be a lump of flesh, bone and water.
