46. Pushing Upward
The Lines
Bottom. [6] The man's ascent starts from humble beginnings,
but he draws his strength from the simplicity of his lifestyle and his ability
to work hard learned in those difficult times. This is a man whom Fate intends
for higher things. He is able to move amongst men of consequence and associate
with them as an equal. He has a vision that marks him as someone destined to be
a leader, and his confidence enables him to accomplish great things.
2. [9] A man of strength who lacks pleasant manners but who
is a hard worker with a vision of great accomplishments is nevertheless
accepted and experiences no problems from his brashness. He is a man of
sincerity and good character, and people are willing to overlook his rough
edges.
3. [9] The man meets with no competition or obstructions,
but he is not certain how long this will last. He obtains his goals with ease,
but will he be able to retain the position he has won so readily? The question
remains unanswered, but he does not let that stop him. He does what he can,
when he can, exploiting all the possibilities available to him in the present
time, and does not allow the possibility that it might not last deter him in
any way.
4. [6] The man achieves his goals and is able to produce
great works for the benefit of his fellow man. He is received into the highest
councils and honored for all his accomplishments. What he has done is indeed
significant, and he will be remembered for his beneficial deeds long beyond his
own lifetime.
5. [6] The man is making remarkable advancements, but he is
in danger of it all going to his head. Everything is coming along too easily,
and this could cause him to become careless and not attend to every detail. If
he falls into this trap, it could prevent him from attaining his goals.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that he proceed carefully and steadily,
step-by-step, even when everything is moving ahead as though nothing could stop
him. Only if he proceeds as though he might stumble at the next step, will he
succeed in reaching his goal.
Top. [6] If a man pushes ahead blindly, he runs the risk
that he may stumble and fall. His advancement has been so easy, he fools
himself into thinking that he is invincible, that nothing can stop him, and
that he need not bother with details. He is tempted to take unnecessary risks
and to run ahead of himself until he exhausts his resources. Such impulsive
behavior always leads one into mistakes. It is essential, therefore, that he
realize that he must always, without once letting up, adhere carefully to his
plans, constantly evaluate his gains, and remain faithful to his goals. Only
then will he avoid the foolish mistakes that result when a man advances without
carefully considering where he is going
