What a Leader needs to understand about the strength of water
What a Leader needs to understand about the strength of water
Master Wei replied: "A sword is a mighty but stubborn weapon. Once taken out of its sheath it has to be used; to make way for something new, to support someone or to eliminate danger. It was not made to replace words. Thus there is only room for using a sword when no words are left to solve a conflict peacefully.
The mightiest weapon a Leader possesses is to behave like water, to flow around all obstacles you meet, to shape them with patience and endurance. Water is far more powerful than a sword. No hammer can smash it, no knife can cut it, a sword can not even inflict the smallest scratch on its surface.
There are moments when showing resistance means getting destroyed, even if you carry a sword. The tallest mountains and the mightiest rocks will not keep water from flowing where it belongs. Water always finds the way that is possible and it always reaches its final destination: the sea."
