Bewater, what does my friend mean?

To make water, my friend means: flow like water, my friend. "Be my friend" is a summary of Bruce Lee's philosophical thoughts in the interview program of 197 1.

These words fully expounded Bruce Lee's philosophy of martial arts and life. Like water, it is soft and firm, full of changes, and can adapt to the shape of everything. Water can bend and stretch, but it will not yield to difficulties.

Original text:

Empty your brain,

As shapeless as water.

You put it in a cup, and it becomes a cup.

You put it in a bottle, and it becomes a bottle.

You put it in a teapot and it becomes a teapot.

Water can flow or collapse.

Make water, my friend. …

Translation:

Clear your mind,

Flexible and invisible, like water.

You pour water into a cup, and it becomes the shape of a cup;

You pour water into a bottle, and it becomes the shape of a bottle;

You pour water into the teapot, and it becomes the shape of the teapot.

Water can flow or collide.

Love water!

My friend.

Make water, my friend.

Like water, my friend. This transparent magical substance contains all wisdom.

I hope this wisdom can benefit everyone who really understands.
