"Reading"

The author is clearly advocated unity, not in favor of vacillation, no definite view, to influence the actions and results.After the first three hexagram when it comes to the disadvantages of indecision, three hexagram is to repeatedly consideration before action, look before you leap.After that, thoughts on resolutely put into action in a timely manner.

This is a kind of realistic attitude, is behaving in the success of a principle.There are inherent logic relation between knowledge and practice.A clear mind to know only, want to see, action will not blindly;It is a good idea and desire, if don't step into practice, can only is the tower of Babel.To unify knowing and doing, would, achievement.

Basically, this kind of realistic attitude is the meaning of life it has a positive life as a process of constant progress, striving, rather than passively to escape, is not a dream of fantasy.Enterprising and struggle as a battle: participate in ruminating over before, want to clear after it was put into.
