“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.”

Such an attitude can be developed only if winning is closely tied to the practitioner’s ideals and dreams.”
