Bruce Lee The Art Of Dying?

Question

In one clip of Bruce Lee he says "You must learn the art of Dying"

What does this mean?

Answer 1

"the art of Dying" is the knowledge that you will not live forever, so you must act in every situation as though it may be your last.  Bruce spoke often about the "perfect" technique, to strive for.  To be fluid until the moment of impact, etc.  To accept that life is fleeting and nothing may be taken for granted.  This is the "art of dying".  Live each day as though it is your last and your first, to make the most out of it.

Answer 2

It means you have to let go before you can learn.

Answer 3

Bruce is teaching the lesson of accepting your own mortality. In some situations, survival is not viable. When you accept your own mortality and are willing to die, you become far more lethal, as you are willing to take risks and make sacrifices your opponent is not.
