In our finance lesson today, we discussed the importance of communication and the ability to cope with stress.
Everyone has to cope with stress, and it can either have a positive or negative effect on a person. Stress isn’t always a bad thing. It’s how we identify what’s important, and we can look forward to something while stressing about it.
Bruce Lee’s philosophy ‘Be Like Water’ is his philosophy to tackle life. He says, just like water, we must be fluid and flexible to the situations we are put into.
If water is poured into a bottle, the water takes form and turns into a bottle. If water is placed into a bowl, the water takes form and turns into a bowl. If water is placed into a cup, the water takes form and turns into a bottle.
So, just like water, we must adapt to the situations life puts us into. We must be fluid, formless and shapeless, and not let stress take the better of us.
