Bruce Lee said it best,

“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.

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.”
