「為學日益，為道日損，損之又損，以至於無為，無為而無不為」
in pursuit of knowledge, everyday something is added. (seeking/gaining)
In the pursuit of the way (way of life, way of being), everyday something needed to be let go.
The practice of letting go, day after day, until you let go of all your desires and ego, you return to your nature.
When you become "nothing" / effortless, there is nothing you cannot do.
Practice 2 minutes drum roll everyday to train the dexterity of the hand
Play with the water bottle
