First written on September 08, 2008 Revised and Updated on Friday, February 19, 2010 Bruce Lee as a Productivity Guru Famed martial art specialist and actor Bruce Lee was an icon and a trailblazer. He was also a personal productivity guru. His guidelines for personal productivity are five. They are: 1. "As you think, so shall you become." - Keep yourself and your thoughts on the right track to reach your goals.  2. "If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done." -  Don’t over think, don’t procrastinate, and just do it.  3. "To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person." - How people respond to you says a lot — and what you see, hear and feel in other people may be a reflection of you.  4. "Showing off is the fool’s idea of glory." - Bragging is an attempt to gain validation from others, but it alienates those around you and makes you look needy. Instead, practice inner validation by setting and achieving goals.  5. "To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities." - Be proactive instead of reactive; don’t blindly go with the flow. Be willing to take the lead to get what you want. Written by Mr. Natesan Sukumar The views, opinions and interpretations are personal.
