Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.
Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around 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.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Be water, my friend.
