Like water.

There is an old Chinese proverb that says "Be like water and you will survive."

No, it doesn't mean that you should be literally like water you know like living solely on water. It means that we should incorporate the properties of water into our own lives. Water is one of the most power elements because you can mold it. It can take any shape and it can go through almost anything. It is in short versatile.

We can learn a lot from water. Water takes the shape of its container, so one must be adaptable. Don't resist the unfamiliar for water isn't like that it goes with the flow it adapts to its surroundings. Water can break a rock hence it is powerful. One must approach an object or obstacle for that matter with all its might and strike it until it breaks. When we overcome them we become stronger, we grow with each obstacle we over come. Water is clear and refreshing. Don't be clouded, clear your mind be free so that others will be able to quench themselves with what you have to offer. Don't be selfish for water is not selfish, it gives and gives.

Water doesn't only give us life but it also teaches us on how to live life. It is essential to our survival in this world and its properties as well if we choose to incorporate them in our life.
