| Bruce Lee Podcast |
A podcast about the philosophy of Knowledge/People/Bruce Lee hosted by his daughter Shannon Lee. I often return to selected episodes. It's timeless knowledge that can be rediscovered and learned again and again.
Lessons
Be Water, My Friend
Adapt to the situation in the best way possible. Especially expressed throughout the quote:
> Be Water, My Friend. Empty your mind.
> Be formless, shapeless, like water.
> You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
> You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
> You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
> Now water can flow or it can crash.
> Be water, my friend.
It is clear how important it is to clear one's mind. This is what Knowledge/People/Dan Millman and his 'Throwing the garbage (out of your head)' talk about. Besides, I associate the comparison to water itself with my constant change of role and near-perfect adaptation to changing conditions. Ultimately 'water can flow, or it can crash' ....
Hack away the unessentials
In all of this, it is not about daily addition, but subtraction.
It might seem that the key element of development is continuous growth, a constant process of achieving more and better. In practice, I convince myself that it is totally the opposite!
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
Episodes

Hack away the unessentials
An episode about one of my foundations, which I describe in Foundations/Process#Development - simplification.
- 'something is perfect not when nothing more can be added, but when nothing can be subtracted' ~ The Little Prince
- 'simplification is not about ignoring some elements, but about getting to the source and consciously rejecting the unnecessary ones' ~ me
