Shannon Lee carries on the tradition of her father, Bruce Lee. She reads some of his writings on success, business and life. Bruce Lee had some huge goals. Take a look at his definite chief aim back in January 1969:

I, Bruce Lee, weill be the first highest paid Oriental superstar 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 $!0,000,000. I will the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.

Giant Robot Magazine co-founders Martin Wong and Eric Nakamura need your help to support the print publication. The bad economy couple with rising costs of postage and paper have hurt the magazine. They need at least $60,000 to ensure another year of full operation. Last year, they were on AMEX Small Business Rules. Here’s short statement from Giant Robot:

While diversification allowed Giant Robot to escape the fate suffered by many of our indie publishing peers in the second half of the ‘00s, 2009 was brutal. In addition to several distributors cutting out small press or folding altogether, paper has become more expensive and postage has skyrocketed exponentially. And while there has also been the support of loyal advertisers, the middle class of supporters has dropped, creating peaks and valleys in income that force us to live issue to issue. Complicating matters, store revenues and art show sales have suffered along with the economy, depriving the magazine of resources that allowed it to operate freely and thrive without the benefit or constraints of being part of a large publishing house.

Reducing pages, going from bimonthly to quarterly, or becoming an online entity are not options, and our editorial and production staff of two full-timers and two part-timers (intact since issue 18) is already as lean as can be.

It’s been rough for the handful of Asian American print publications. Last year, AsianWeek ceased print publications. In 2008, remember the Save KoreAm Journal campaign. Hyphrn Magazine seems to be hanging in there tho.
