“Be like water making its way through crack.
Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way round it or through it.

Moving be like water.
Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”

“...if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.”
