When a matter is in its nascent stage before any sign appears, it is called a 'juncture' or 'opportunity.' This juncture is often difficult to perceive when it is not yet obvious. Seizing the moment to act is referred to as 'momentum.' Momentum does not automatically cease until it reaches its peak. Adapting to the times means making accurate judgments about the various postures of events, ensuring one's actions align with reality, and making corresponding changes based on different circumstances. The ultimate goal is to maintain a position of advantage and ensure the success of one's actions.
The fundamental basis for making accurate judgments lies in the collection of relevant data, the analysis of connections between pieces of data, and the correct assessment of potential changes. Only based on a comprehensive and accurate analysis of information can one achieve the correct 'assessment of momentum' and 'adaptation to the times.'
In a sense, life is also a battle. In this battle, dealing with others requires caution. One must adopt a prudent lifestyle and attitude. It is advisable to remain vigilant towards those one is not familiar with, consider preventive strategies, and leave some room for 'escape,' thereby avoiding regret after the fact.
In life, we inevitably encounter unreasonable or even malicious people, and sometimes we may be bullied or insulted without cause. Initially, one might feel furious and unable to tolerate it, but after enduring it, one realizes it is not a big deal. This endurance serves as a form of tempering. Anger often stems from a momentary impulse; when heated, one tends to act without regard for consequences. If one can consciously calm down at such moments, carefully weigh the pros and cons, and maintain composure, the outcome will be different, and our life path will consequently change.
