Take care of both and they will take care of you. Water conforms to whatever shape is needed when it encounters an object. As Bruce Lee famously said, “Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless.

For clear communication avoid Texting and Email because they are the least effective forms. When you want to communicate your message and have it clearly understood there are two ways.
