"Empty your mind ,be formless,shapeless - like water.
清空你的固有思想,做到无形,无状——正如水一样。
Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup;
你将水倒入杯中,它融为杯子。
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle;
将水注入瓶内,它变成瓶子。
You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot;
将水倾入茶壶,它就是茶壶。
Now water can flow or it can crash.
水可流动,亦可破碎。
Be water,my friend."
要做水,我的朋友!——Bruce Lee 李小龙
The highest good is like water.
上善若水。
Water benefits everything by giving without taking or contending.
水善利万物而不争。
It likes the place others dislike, so it follows closely the divine law.
处众人之所恶,故几于道。
The place should be low,the mind (should be) broad, the gift (should be)kind, the speech (should be)trustworthy,the rule should be sound,the deed (should be)well-done,the action (should be)timely.
居善地,心善渊,与善仁,言善信,正善治,事善能,动善时。
Without contention, a man is blameless.
夫唯不争,故无忧。
in English-daodejing / English on Dao De Jing
The vale spirit never dies.
谷神不死。
It is the mysterious womb.
是谓玄牝。
The door to the mysterious womb is the origin of heaven and earth.
玄牝之门,是谓天地根。
It lasts as if it ever existed; when used, it is inexhaustible.
绵绵若存,用之不勤。
Heaven and earth exist for ever.
天长地久。
The reason why they exist so long is not that they want to exist; where there is no want, to be and not to be are one.
天地所以能长而且久者,以其不自生,故能长生。
Therefore for the sage the last becomes the first, the out becomes the in.
是以圣人后其身而身先,外其身而身存。
As he is selfless, all become his self.
非以其无私邪!故能成其私。
