Be like water, my friend.
Simplicity of expression rather than complexity of form.
Give recognition where it is due. Compliments stimulate more effort and desire to improve. Be generous with honest praising.

The principle of martial arts is not a thing that can be learned, like a science, by fact-finding and instruction in facts. It has to grow spontaneously, like a flower, in a mind free from emotions and desires.
