Bruce Lee and the Clean Air Act

I wonder what Bruce Lee would think about the Clean Air Act?

► *“Simplicity is the key to brilliance.”—Bruce Lee***

► “In building a statue, a sculptor doesn’t keep adding clay to his subject. Actually, he keeps chiselling away at the inessentials until the truth of its creation is revealed without obstructions.”—Bruce Lee

► *“To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.”* —Bruce Lee**

► “It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.” —Bruce Lee

Time to transform the SIP process. We can make it happen.
