Old master of Jeet Kune Do taught me a lesson once. I was doing all sorts of small errands for him at the time. I struggled with moving a particularly big stone in the garden.
He invited me to join for a cup of tea and gave me a lesson in Jeet Kune Do and gardening. First he invited me to watch how the grass is growing with him. And I paid attention. Second he invited me to look at the cup that I drank tea from. And I paid attention.
And lastly he said: "If you watch how grass grows for long enough, if you look at the cup long enough, somebody will do your work for you".
