Today's pause is focused on the words of Bruce Lee. I had always thought of Bruce Lee as a Martial Artists guru and movie actor. Lee was also a teacher of the Martial Arts. Teaching and learning transcend all field s of knowledge; the essence of what we do as teachers is common, no matter the content. What makes Lee resonate so strongly with me is that he had a unique style of Martial Arts he developed himself- The Way of No Way. Meaning he believed one must break from the rigid forms and styles of traditional martial arts and combine what works best for your own practice. As a teacher I couldn't agree more. Teachers must find The Way of No Way for their own teaching style: find what works best for you and your students, be prepared to fail and try again, and keep positive outlook despite countless challenges. Go ahead, jump in the water today.
