Maybe bruce lee meant when he said "Be water my friend" that since people are made of water and that we need water to live, stay hydrated could be wrong
Sorry for my lack of competence but can anyone explain the quote to me in depth? I think that he's trying to emphasize "going with the flow" but I feel there's something that I'm missing...
@wnsmsskdmlgla adapting to your opponent and environment and it also has to do with your mindset. Bruce Lee said some awesome things I must say, another quote is "When my opponent contracts, I expand. When my opponent expands, I contract. And when there is an oppurtunity, I do not hit! It hits all by itself"
@wnsmsskdmlgla More than just go with the flow, he's saying adapt. Adapt yourself to the situation, as necessary. Water can simply go with the flow, but it can also "crash" and be a forceful weapon. It can be whatever is necessary. It can become whatever it is needed to be. That is why water doesn't simply (and passively) fill a cup, or a teapot, it BECOMES the cup, it BECOMES the teapot. I hope that makes sense.
If you can be like water(Mind Art) then you can be a great ninja.So the meaning of those words is about our mind and internal nature powers that we have from the day that we born.All start from soul and the combination with mind is the perfect result.Respect Bruce Lee

Legend? hah, all respect to Bruce Lee, but what he really was, was just a young kid with an attitude that was trained by a master and was praised by hollywood. He's a legend for what, bringing martial arts to the white screen in the west?
"....Philosophy of Using Your Mind to Transform Matter." I think you're a little confused as to what Bruce Lee was actually saying here. He didn't mean you actually need to become water! LOL : ) Water is formless and can move and flow around objects with ease and grace, yet it can also be powerful and destructive. Be formless LIKE water. You have somehow confused this with him telling you to become a cup of tea ;-) Be water my friend!
i dont see why peopel act like hes god, if he was that good he'd come round my house and smash my head on the keyboardiugdfhgikdfffghdflghkjioqweqwnenqw wqejqwe';woeijqw;eoijwq;oiej
I saw this clip while I was watching a documentary, while pulling an all nighter. Let me just say, that at 5 in the morning, this was the deepest thing I had ever heard.
Just the look on Bruce Lee's face as he speaks the guy knew he was an absolute badass. I don't think it was being smug at all either, just extreme self-confidence.
just like michael jackson, james dean etc. He was another amazing person to die so young. God does this for one reason and that is the fact that aging would ruin him...
I love what he means by water can flow or it can crash,Like the approach of a strike is formless nice flow but the impact must be hard like crashing water on the rocks in a flowing river
@Lvl60Slayer I like your approach to his philosophy. I have interpreted differently. To me, I think of water as in the person. Either you can flow through the stream of life, or you can crash, halt, or become stagnant. Flow around the obstacles and enjoy the journey, or look to the destination and end up stagnating in a small pool of failure. Be water, my friend.
@l337n1nj41 Wow, after all these years and so many people do not understand what it is to be like watah. Being formless having no boundaries, expectations or limitations. The ability to adapt to any situation or obstacle in life or MA, you can bash through or gently flow around it, as Water does. IMHO.
Mine too. When the subject of "Who shares your birthday" used to come up when I was a kid, I RULED with those 2. And showed up the astrology nuts for the fuckwits they (and their "science") really are because I absolutely am not in any way comparable to those 2 kings. Even being a girl does not excuse inferiority complex there. Having said that, Bruce's philosophy was "Identify and develop your strengths - whatever they are". Word.
@DUNiT718 I'm assuming your discussing the Abrahamic God. Which in Judism, Christianity, and Islam say that The Abrahamic God will send all non-believers to hell.
We decode a high dimensional shape shifting conscience energy, or collective, using our human mind as water. Snow flakes are unexplainable according to the physical laws that are restraining our reality and keeping us locked in 3D.
Bruce..giuro che prima o poi mi faró questa attraversata oceanica per venire a trovarti davanti alla tua tomba! Sei grande..!!! In English: i sware i'll go to visit Bruce and Brandon lee's graves..!! I'll go from Italy to pray for my only SIFÙ!! Bruce you'll be always the best!!
What Bruce lee was describing was martial arts. He believed that martial arts shouldn't have structure. There shouldn't be a right or wrong way to strike an opponent. As long as you have technique.
Read the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, the Federalist Papers, George Washington's farewell address, Bastiat's essay the law. Then lets try liberty...Restore America 2012 Ron Paul for President. "There are two ways to conquer a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by DEBT." John Adams 2nd US Pres. We are under siege...we need to return to the blueprint of our republic. RON PAUL will take us there. Educate yourself, save the USA.
"This is what it is ok" every time I listen to this I feel good like all my problems will eventually unfold Maaannn, the coolest master I have ever known, god bless his soul.
