Either push your limits or die.

We have great work ahead of us, and it needs devotion and much, much energy. To grow, to discover, we need involvement.

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.

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

Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you.

A man must constantly exceed his level

The idea is that flowing water never goes stale, so just keep on flowing.
