Be like water, my friend

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and 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."

-- Bruce Lee

A similar thing I have read in the following book by RUSKIN BOND , the author  says being like water will help us being soft and limpid , finding the way through ,over and under any obstacle ,  sometimes travelling underground for great distances before emerging into the open . It does not quarrel ; it simply moves on….

So... Be like water my friend...
