Bruce Lee said, be like water.


"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.” 


M: (Wrong sent text) Yeah. Monday mourn day. Life as shitty as ever. Text me when you come to mnl again. We'll have our lungs burnt and have good tea. Hi to your boyfriend.
M: That was wrong sent. Sorry. My muscle memory only knows your name on my phone book.
P: Why shitty? Take it easy.
M: Yes. I'm okay. It's just the usual stuff. And you know about my stubbornness to everything.
P: Okay. I know. Bruce Lee said be like water my friend.
M: Making it's way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object... Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. Thanks for reminding me.
P: You know even that!
M: You know it too! And sometimes I keep on forgetting I know it no matter how much I like that it says a lot.
