Bruce Lee famously said, “Be water, my friend.” Here’s a slightly longer version of what he said, because it’s worth pondering:

“Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water.

“Now, you put water into a cup — it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot … it becomes the teapot.

“Now, water can flow, or it can crash.

“Be water, my friend.”
