Favorite saying

• "“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.” Bruce Lee “If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” Bruce Lee “Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.” Bruce Lee “I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.” Bruce Lee “If you make an ass out of yourself, there will always be someone to ride you” Bruce Lee “The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.” Bruce Lee “"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer."” Bruce Lee “Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.” Bruce Lee “A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.” Bruce Lee “A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.” Bruce Lee “To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.” Bruce Lee “The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be.” Bruce Lee"
