Lee stands undaunted in the face of adversity.

“Be formless, shapeless like water. Now if you put water into a cup it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle, you put it into a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, My Friend.” - Bruce Lee on The Pierre Berton Show, December 1971
Flexibility, adaptation, and a pro-active response to change were key to Bruce Lee’s philosophy of success. In this uncertain world economy and the wars of the world what can be taken form this statement? Is the answer really that existentially concrete? Well, one might like to think so. But a better comparison might also be that one must tackle his or her problem by immersing in a solution (all watery puns aside) rather that a complaint.
Wax like Water!
I love that quote it is in a really great rap song, I forget by who KRS 1 perhaps???? Great page!
This is completely wonderful and so very necessary at this moment. Thank you for this most sane reminder of inherent choice always!~k
