Bruce Lee Motivation – The Lost Interview.

What does Bruce Lee have to do with supply chain and/or business? Absolutely nothing. Then again, maybe much more than we think. Going to use this quote to bring in Bruce Lee’s philosophy and knowledge: “Supply Chain is like nature, it is all around us.” ~Dave Waters. With supply chain all around us there is always something to learn. With so much to learn this quote by Bruce Lee is something to keep in mind: “Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own.” As I was adding Bruce Lee quotes got me to remember why I like Bruce Lee so much. Some of his quotes remind me of Elon Musk quotes. Bruce Lee’s philosophy can be applied to martial arts, business, sports, life…

Be Like Water. This is in the interview.

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
― Bruce Lee
