from this philosophy of water --

ืžืคื™ืœื•ืกื•ืคื™ื” ื–ื• ืฉืœ ื”ืžื™ื --
03:21
three lessons that I believe have helped me find greater fulfillment

in almost everything that I do.
63
205986
1641
ื›ืžืขื˜ ื‘ื›ืœ ื“ื‘ืจ ืฉืื ื™ ืขื•ืฉื”.
03:29
The first lesson is about humility.

ื”ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ ื”ืจืืฉื•ืŸ ื”ื•ื ืขืœ ืขื ื•ื•ื”.
03:32
If we think about water flowing in a river,

2310
ืื ื ื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืขืœ ืžื™ื ืฉื–ื•ืจืžื™ื ื‘ื ื”ืจ,

214809
1995
ื”ื ืชืžื™ื“ ื–ื•ืจืžื™ื ื ืžื•ืš.

03:41
It doesn't actually draw any attention to itself,
68
221427
2570
ื”ื ืœืžืขืฉื” ืื™ื ื ืžื•ืฉื›ื™ื ื›ืœ ืชืฉื•ืžืช ืœื‘ ืœืขืฆืžื,

nor does it need any reward or recognition.

ื•ื’ื ืœื ื ื–ืงืงื™ื ืœืฉื›ืจ ื›ืœืฉื”ื•, ืื• ืœื”ื›ืจื”.
03:47
It is humble.
70
227442
1268
ื”ื ืขื ื•ื•ื™ื.
03:49
But without water's humble contribution,
71

ืื‘ืœ ืžื‘ืœื™ ืชืจื•ืžืชื ื”ืฆื ื•ืขื” ืฉืœ ื”ืžื™ื,

03:57
Water's humility taught me a few important things.

ื”ืขื ื•ื•ื” ืฉืœ ื”ืžื™ื ืœื™ืžื“ื” ืื•ืชื™ ื›ืžื” ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื—ืฉื•ื‘ื™ื.
04:00
It taught me that instead of acting like I know what I'm doing

ื‘ืžืงื•ื ืœื”ืขืžื™ื“ ืคื ื™ื ืฉืื ื™ ื™ื•ื“ืข ืžื” ืื ื™ ืขื•ืฉื”

ืื• ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื™ ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ืชืฉื•ื‘ื•ืช,

ื–ื” ื‘ืกื“ืจ ื’ืžื•ืจ ืœื•ืžืจ,

250633
1252
ื•ืื ื™ ื–ืงื•ืง ืœืขื–ืจืชื›ื".
04:12
It also taught me that, instead of promoting my glory and success,
