One layer of river, one layer of mountain.The direction we plan to head towards is like crossing a river and then climbing a high mountain, filled with numerous difficulties.Who would have thought that this path would be so difficult?These difficulties are something no one can foresee.Let him change, but it will never be enough.If we continue with the original idea, no matter how hard we try, we will ultimately not be able to overcome the difficulties smoothly.Right and wrong ultimately never find peace.The tumultuous events will continue, leaving people in unrest.

Drawing this lot indicates that if you proceed in the direction you have in mind, difficulties will be unavoidable and unpredictable. It is advisable to humbly examine yourself, choose the good, and even be willing to abandon your original thoughts.The more difficult the situation, the more one should adhere to their responsibilities, do their work well, and cultivate good relationships, so that unfortunate events do not worsen due to one's carelessness.
