Be water. That might be my new motto, I worked w/ a guy when I lived in Oakland who studied Jeet Kune Do with Bruce Lee. He could bring a man down with one punch to the chest just like Bruce.

I am water. The client wants me to be clever, I become clever. He wants me to become stupid, I become stupid. Whatever the client wants, I become…as long as the checks clear at the end of the week.
That’s such a poetic way of saying that I ‘sell out’ for approximately 40 hours a week. Damn, I got to get into a different line of business.
