Bruce Lee advises: Do not resist the problems, accept both them and your feelings. The winner is the one who knows how to adapt, to maneuver, and to find advantages.

Stand back and observe. Sometimes it is helpful just to contemplate. Like the great Bruce Lee, who has learned the true essence of kung fu while watching the water. His lesson can be useful in the everyday life: do not resist the problems, instead control them and turn in the direction of their flow.

Be like water: water never changes its flow because of small stones and obstacles. It quietly passes around them, moving purposefully forward. Embracing every shape and curve, water is strong, fast and even destructive. It maneuvers, adapts, yet keeps everything under control.

Something is not working out? Accept it. Do not waste time on anger and frustration, try to achieve a result by other means. Persistence and mindfulness always get rewarded.
