Some great takeaways in your post. What comes to mind is Bruce Lee’s saying «Be water my friend».

Great post Eren and I love the comparison between the tree and the blade of grass.

To your point on your friend’s advice, I’ve only ever been in one fight and apart from that never had a confrontation with anyone.

Although, I do think it’s important to learn self defence, I wouldn’t know how to defend myself in a fight…

That's a great point David. Sometimes you do need to stand on business like the oak tree. Tricky balance, but life is a tricky thing!

Thanks mate.
