Be water, the famous kung fu philosophy from Bruce Lee, which as he elaborated "Water is the softest substance in the world, but yet it can penetrate the hardest rock or anything, granite, you name it. So, every kung fu man is trying to do that,... to be soft like water, and flexible and adapt itself to the opponent."

With a similar idea, Hong Kongers these days has bestow this phrase a new meaning, be anonymous, spontaneous, flexible and also evasive – just like the flow of water.


In fact, the philosophy of "Be Water" can be applied to how we do things and how we treat people in life. Water can appear in 3 states, solid, liquid and gas.


Be as tough as ice, do not back up when you should be


Be as flexible as water, adopt to any situation, even when you are not in advantage.


Be as nimble as vapour, no one can stops you when you are as vigorous as vapour, be passionate on whatever you are doing.


Be like water, and we can live a more productive life.
