"Water can flow, also can crash. if u put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. if u put water into a teapot, it becomes a teapot. water is shapeless and formless, be water, my fren" - Bruce Lee

like many other things in this world, water can help to improve lifes but too much of it can bring more harm too, so just keep everything to moderation may be the best. water can be useful to generate energy at dams but can flood an entire city if there is no proper control. hence, control and understanding are also the key.

"Before learning how to use anything in this world, first we must learn how to control and understand its behavior." - bryan lee, 22nd Dec 2004

i feel dat Bruce Lee is partially right, we should be flexible at times and able to adapt to changes. on different situations, we need to resort to different measures. there is no one std way of doing things for all situations in this world. however, a situation may accept more than one method to resolve it. knowing the varies possible methods to deal with a situation is good on the long run, this challenges us to think more than the rest, able to compare and choose the best method. it also gives us a chance to head a step higher than the rest. however, it may consume more of our precious time too.

very often, we cant change the situation we are placed in, so the better way is to change ourselves, in order to perform better in the situation. only those who change to suit the situation best will excel, so how willing are u to accept change? i will leave it to u to decide...

wat i dont agree to this statement is water only flow down and never up, unless u use a pump. in chinese, we got another statement "ren wang gao chu pa, shui wang di chu liu". in english, it means dat humans are always trying strive high up, whereas water is always trying flowing down. also, in terms of human relationship management, you cant be formless and shapeless. or else, the team of ppl dat are working with will not have clear vision of the direction u are heading and hence, unable to put in enough trust into you. u cant expect all the ppl dat in the same team as you to be as flexible as you. instead you must put them in the ideal situation that they can perform, grow and excel. knowing their strengths and weaknesses is vital in this situation. i will leave this in another entry...
