"Fish forget water.

"Fish get water and forget it, birds fly with the wind and don't know the wind" means that fish can swim with the water well, but don't they know they are in the water? Birds can fly freely in the wind, but they don't know they are in the wind. This sentence comes from Caigen Tan written by Hong Yingming, a thinker and scholar in the Ming Dynasty.

Original: impetuous things are peaceful and happy. Fish forget water, birds fly with the wind and don't know the wind.

Impatient and careless people are not easy to succeed in anything; People with gentle temperament and peace of mind are easy to succeed because of their thoughts, so all kinds of blessings will naturally come. Fish can swim well with water, but don't they know they are in the water? Birds can fly freely in the wind, but they don't know they are in the wind.
