As the construction industry continues to get more complicated sometimes it is important to back up and look at simplicity.  Here is what “Being Like Water” means at the professional level:

• Utilize every ounce of talent you have to add the maximum amount of value to the customer that you can every single day.
• Be proactive in aggressively learning new skills that will allow you to add even more value.  
• Always be looking for opportunities to help those around around you including teaching them new skills and helping them see what winning looks like.  
• You can’t ignore your immediate job responsibilities and job description but NEVER let those constrain you.  It’s a life-long journey; not a day.  
• Before you get into an argument or heated discussion over something ask yourself whether it really matters.  Will it really matter tomorrow? In a few weeks? In a few months?    

Are you being a rock or water?  There are times for both but most of the time being water and focusing on what you can control is the best path.
