"Be Like Water My Friend" - What Does Bruce Lee Say About Water

 

I recently came across a quote from Bruce Lee that I ended up using as an inspiration to write this article. 

The original quote from Bruce Lee is the following:

"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."

we can learn a lot from water. In our lives we should all be like water. Let me repeat it. Be like water.

Here is the video:

I Try to Explain you Actually, What Does Bruce Lee Say About Water 

Be refreshing: Few things are as refreshing as a glass of cold water, especially after a long walk under the hot sun. Just as water energizes all life around us, look to energize the lives of those around you.

Be clear: Pure water is clear, fully transparent and lets you see through it. I can hide something in a container of sand, but can I hide something in a container of water? No! Be like water then, in both your personal and professional life. In your work, look to be ethical and honest in your dealings. In your personal life, look to be transparent about your feelings with your loved ones and family.

Be flexible: Water is one of the most flexible and formless substances that we come across everyday. So what does water teach us here? Water teaches us to be accommodating and have situational awareness. Sometimes, we get into arguments over the silliest things. I know. I’ve been there before. The next time you are in an argument, look to take the shape and perspective of the other side and look to be considerate.

Be a universal solvent: Some of the most powerful acids dissolve and get diluted in water. Impurities in our body dissolve in water and get flushed out of our system. Just as water then, take a dissolving effect in any group you belong to. Just as a sugar cube dissolves and makes the entire glass of water sweet, look to distribute the feelings of happiness to everyone in any group you belong to. On the other hand, if there is acrimony or sadness in concentrated in someone, look to empathize with them and dilute their feelings.

Be precious: Just as water then, be precious to the people around you. Too many times, we take things for granted. Our families, friends and support systems. Realize that they are all precious to you and in turn look to be precious for them.

Finally, Water has many things to teach us about he we live our all aspects of our lives. So next time you look at a glass of water, think of it as a reflection of what you should aim to be!

Thank you😄
