The Lines

1. [9] An obstacle at the beginning must be carefully
assessed. No mere difficulty should deter a man from the goal he has set out to
accomplish; but every problem must be dealt with and not ignored. The right kind
of helpers are needed, but these can be found by approaching them gently, not
demandingly.

2. [6] A helper who arrives just at a time of difficulty is
greeted with suspicion. Is he a true helper, or is he seeking to exploit a
difficulty? Even if he is honest, not every person who offers help should be
welcomed. It is best to wait until the situation clears before accepting help.
A man doesn’t really know what kind of help is needed until he has a better
grasp of the situation himself.

3. [6] Certain endeavors require expert guidance. A man is
foolish if he tries to forge ahead on his own without the proper expertise.
Better to abort the enterprise than to risk all on incompetence and incomplete
understanding. A wise man does not try to fake his way through difficulties.

4. [6] A man senses his incapacity, but honor and duty
demand he proceed. What to do? He must seize whatever help he can to assist him
and go ahead. Acknowledging a need is not a needed resources, a successful
outcome is assured.

5. [9] The man is competent, but others are not convinced.
Nothing he says can win them over. If he proceeds with small matters, he can
succeed and later do greater things as confidence in him builds. But if he
attempts great things in the face of a lack of confidence by others, he is sure
to fail, because great endeavors require broad-based support.

6. [6] Overwhelming difficulties at the start make a man
give up, and failure is unavoidable. Success never follows from a despairing
attitude. No hope can be offered to a man who does not expend his best efforts.
At best, he might try again later when he has sufficient resolve to tackle the
difficulties
