35.4
You won't be sorry, you will have friends that follow your heart, but to go beyond that circle of influence you will have to be tough.
> 27
Will provide for your inner and outer needs. But be temperate in what you say and in your "eating and drinking" (figuratively and literally, probably.) Family or small business?
Nine in the fourth place means:
Progress like a hamster.
Perseverance brings danger.
In times of progress it is easy for strong men in the wrong places to amass great possessions. But such conduct shuns the light. And since times of progress are also times in which dubious procedures are inevitably brought to the light, perseverance in such action always leads to danger.

9 at 4: Advancing like a five-skills-squirrel. Determination danger.
Knowing a lot of things, but all just a little. Doing many things but not finishing one. Then there will never be any advance. Everything – a thing, a relation, your life – needs completion. A half-built house is no house, a half-lived life is no life.

35.4, 9 4th, Zhi Gua 23: Bo, Decomposing
(Fan Yao 23.4: stripping the bed for its flesh, ominous)
Advancing like a squirrelly rodent
Persistence is dangerous
35.4x The squirrelly rodent’s persistence (is) dangerous:
The position is not appropriate
At night, in the dumps, he is king, but this time he goes too far. He is found out by
the dawn and the daylight, in flagrante delicto, sneaking around on the palace lawn,
disclosed and exposed to the public, barely a squeak ahead of the royal gardener’s
shovel. He’ll be lucky to keep his ratty old tail. The rodents, of course, have their
places, and specific kinds of wits evolved to go with it. But clever, stealthy, nosey,
skulking and sly sorts of wits have no advantage, or less, in this bright light of day.
And all that you’ll need to trap them is to understand what they crave. Self-interest
is not their problem, only the unenlightened self-interest. He is stealing the things
that he has today for the asking, just like a thief at a potlatch. Openness, light and
fresh air restore the general welfare today. Good health is the parasite’s downfall.

But I guess this is just the same old nighttrippingoddvision, sooo . .
hmm . . let's see . .
31.1,4 would change to 63 (if that's of any help!)
and 20 odd ones surely don't do much good as far as clarity's concerned
Anyways, not much good on a five-skills squirrel I have to admit . . if it was about a new improved version, now that would make a good catch, lol

Someone in a strong postion will be hoarding - maybe power, responsibility, overtime, goods, to the detriment of the business. It will all come out publicly eventually, you can't hide such things forever. Danger there, be careful.
Hmmm... That doesn't sound good. I will keep an eye out for this situation and hopefully avoid any involement. Doesn't sound like anything I want to deal with. I thought the Yi was warning me not to be like the rat, but I'm not like that... I thought it was a little weird that the Yi was advising against behavior that's so uncharacteristic of me... The rat is someone else! Revelation! I thought I might be misinterpreting. Stupid rat!
The rest of it sounds like what I was expecting. Maybe some people who try to hold ya back... With the scarcity of jobs, the competition can get to peoples' heads, so this doesn't surprise me. I will be preapared for it. My plan is to keep a safe distance and detachment, while still being friendly. Give me a chance to get a clear picture of who I'm dealing with etc. I would like to move up as quickly as possible, so will be keeping things very professional anyway
Thanks Lavalamp:bows:
The translation for 35.4 from Hilarys book is "Advancing like a long-tailed rodent, Constancy;danger" see there is no 'strong man' there at all
Its better to stay with the actual translation, the words of the Yi than follow Wilhelms commentaries paraphrased.
