“Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.”
— Bruce Lee
Simplified Meaning:
When you learn new things or get advice from others, it's important to only take in what helps you and let go of what doesn't. Imagine you are making a soup. You pick only the best ingredients that make it taste good and leave out anything that would make it worse. This way, the soup becomes delicious. In life, when you hear different ideas or try new methods, keep the ones that work for you and get rid of those that don't. But don't stop there – add your special touch to make it your own. For example, a painter might learn techniques from famous artists and forget about the methods that don't help their style. Then, they combine the useful techniques with their creativity to make something unique and special. So, if you want to improve or learn something new, remember to keep what’s good, forget what isn’t, and mix in your personal flair. This way, you create something that truly represents you.
