Be water, my friend!

I was finding quotes to put in my sidebar, when I remembered my most favorite one. It was said by Bruce Lee. I like him not because he is a martial arts specialist or because I like his movies, or any thing of that sort. I respect him for he was a sort of philosopher (for the lack of a better word). He read many books and his ideas and philosophies were really awesome..

He developed the 'Jeet Kune Do' which means the "way of the intercepting fist". Even in that you can see that his ideas have been infused. His theories are really amazing.. For example, my favorite quote is:

"Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. 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. Adapt!"

I came to know about him through a documentary on discovery channel a few years back. It was an awesome compilation of his life, his ideas and his works.. truly amazing man!
