Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

— Bruce Lee

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.
