Best Study Method - Class or Self? Hex 46 > 51!

[jp78]

Should I take a prep class?

Hexagram 46.1.2.3.4 changing to Hexagram 51.

So this means, i must push upward and maintain a genuine interest in the subject matter. The class may be a shock to be since there will be a lot of material I'm unfamiliar with?


Or should I self study with the other provider's learning videos?

Hexagram 42.5.6 to Hexagram 24.

Don't understand this hexagram lines 5 and 6 talk about helping others and Hexagram 24 talks about returning. How can I help others when i haven't mastered the material myself. Returning to what though I don't understand?

Look out, here comes a drive-by interpretation.

1. 51 is motivation to get off your buttuski and push outward and upward.

2. Self-study doesn't offer that kind of motivation, so it's all up to you. Some people can, I think most can not. Most need some kind of discipline and accountability, such as the first offers. At the end of the day, however, you begin again after graduation, where you must actually do what you've learned. Professional students are as useless as a light bulb that's never been installed. However, lifetime students can be extremely productive, even when alone.

haha, thanks for the drive by interpretation, it's better than no one helping me to interpret. I feel like your interpretation is right - self study wont work for me right now.
