Behold, Bruce Lee's ten-year plan. This is a hand-written note written by Bruce Lee proclaiming to the world -- and mainly, to himself -- his goals for the next decade. It's definitely one of those "set your mind to it" kind of things, and if there's anyone who had the will to make it happen, it was Bruce Lee:
My Definite Chief Aim
I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
Bruce Lee
Jan. 1969
