General Quotes

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round 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.”
― Bruce Lee

For this reason, working long hours into the night, although it is sometimes necessary, means that you are usually producing less and less in more and more time.

At a certain point, you can reach “the wall” and simply be unable to continue, like a battery that is run down.”
