Bruce Lee - Be Water [Longstreet]

「Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.」
(Bruce Lee -Longstreet-)

[JackSplout]

While Bruce Lee explained his "Be like Water" quote was based on an epiphany he had as a young martial artist, I have always loved the second part. "Like everyone else you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose. To accept defeat to learn to die is to be liberated from it, so when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying." He often wrote about ego and how it created a false realization about ourselves. The "Art of Dying"is all about being free of ego and of worrying about the outcome as long as you are expressing yourself.

You don’t know how healing this quote is. I’m so glad Bruce invented this quote.

Empty your mind be formless shapeless like water. Now you put water into a cup it becomes the cup you put water into a teapot it becomes the teapot now water can flow of creep or drip or crash! Be water my friend.

To learn to 'die', is to be liberated from it... A valuable lesson to free yourself of your ego and let nature take it's course.

I was 12 when I had my first fight and barely won because of Bruce Lee, he was a man among men.

I wish this music was available or extended

[andonypoma]

the reason people do not understand be water is because they arent paying attention fully to the show. just like when you rewatch a movie you see things u didnt notice before. empty your mind of your life and focus only on watching the youtube video. dont miss the context.

[MrMannekuin]

i believe that he was killed for saying those words. THERES A RIGHT WAY TO DIE AND THEY DONT WANT THAT INFORMATION OUT. Was his words scripted or did he have input? People are so afraid of death so they never live and those who know the truth want it to be a secret. We must learn the art of dieing which really means the art of living. When we die we wake from this dream which no one wants to realize that it is our fate our destiny. Row row row your boat is the truth this is all a dream and learning how to die isnt as painful as they would have us believe, its like a birthday being born . If your afraid to die then imagine how babies must feel being born.Tense people think they control life like they gonna live forever only a person who understands death would want to preserve life weather it be for profit or for sentimental reasons. be in the now flow like water but know that no matter what death is where the river goes. stop trying to control yourself, youl only get in the way. observe when the time is right attack if not its ok just dont get scared of the unknown. This isnt about who can live the longest mmmm and if you live the longest the more money someone makes this feels like a vacation and some people dont want to go back well they cant cause tv and advertising and other stuff make you get attached. i wish i could just say it all in one word. awsome vid
