Perseverance - fortune.
Perseverance brings good fortune.

The inferior man uses power, the superior man does not. If he acts, it is dangerous. The goat butts against a hedge and gets its horns entangled.
Fence opens, horns freed - fortune.
Perseverance brings good fortune. Regret disappears. The hedge opens; there is no entanglement. Power depends on the axle of a big cart.
Lose goat in field - no regret.
Loses the goat in the neighborhood. No regret.
Ram stuck - cannot advance or retreat.
A goat butts against a hedge. It cannot go backward, it cannot go forward. Nothing serves to further. If one notes the difficulty, this brings good fortune.
