Each man is defined by his actions, not by his words. The reason that people take to heart what Bruce Lee said is that he put his words into action. Bruce didn't rely on other's accomplishments to move him forward in life. He made his own way by studying others successes and failures accordingly. I can't think of one time where I heard him claim that he was a wing chun man, jeet kune do man, or that he used Yip Man's name like a line of credit. Bruce would simply say, "I am Bruce Lee." And he made that mean something very special to himself and eventually the world.
In living, we all have struggles and things that we are learning from. My suggestion is to make your own way and not live off of the successes of others. Try to learn from them. Making your own way is a piece of your identity. It is a part of the journey that makes your path clear.
You can go to the best school in the world, it doesn't mean you learned a damn thing.
