Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Simplicity of expression rather than complexity of form.

The point is the doing of them rather than the accomplishments . There is no actor but the action; there is no experiencer but the experience.

Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.

Without frustration you will not discover that you might be able to do something on your own. We grow through conflict.

It is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky..but to express oneself honestly not lying to oneself, now that my friend is very hard to do

The essence of fighting is the art of moving at the right time.
