Work and choice

Two course projects, both stuck in progress

2 August 2023Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked about two collaborative courses that kept getting stuck. I laid out the general direction and timeline for each.

The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

They're all collaborative courses, but they just keep getting stuck [emoji]

就是都是合作中的课程，但就是卡卡卡[emoji]

Outer plate ⏎ Gui Mao, Ji Wei [redacted] ⏎ Jia appears on the outer plate, forming the Tian Xian Shi Ge pattern: first winding, then straight. This is the general trajectory of the two projects. ⏎ ⏎ On the inner plate, a full Fu Yin (returning chant) pattern means slowness. Things tend to meet obstacles in people, matters, resources, and the external environment. It will take a relatively long process. ⏎ ⏎ Project 1: ⏎ Falls into the Qian trigram. This project is quite high-end, with top-tier resources, and involves some government or state-level connections or resources. The project is currently stuck because Bing Fire enters the tomb, and the Xuan Wu star is here. ⏎ ⏎ This means: ⏎ 1 The leader or external environment does not support it, no approval has been given. 2 Xuan Wu here also means the entire development team is putting in uneven effort, and they themselves are confused, with no clear point to apply force. ⏎ ⏎ This project can grow very large in the Bing Wu year, that is, 2026. It will mostly start to show signs of picking up around the summer of 2025. ⏎ ⏎ Once it takes off, it will have great influence, be a benchmark-type course, and attract many high-quality clients. The income is high, and more pioneering things will emerge from this project. ⏎ ⏎ Project 2:

外盘癸卯己未 [redacted] 外盘见甲，天显时格，先曲后直，这是两个项目的大致走向。内盘中，全盘伏吟主慢，事物推动在人事物力外环境上都容易受阻。需要经历比较漫长的过程。项目一: 入乾卦，这个项目比较多高大上，资源都比较顶尖，而且占一些政府类的或者国家类的关系或者资源，这个项目目前卡壳是是因为丙火入墓，以及玄武星在此。说明 1 领头人或者外环境不支持，没有点头 2 玄武在这里也说明整个开发团队使力不均匀，自己也比较迷惑，没有施力点。这个项目在丙午年也就是2026年可以做的很大，起来多数是在2025年的夏季左右看到起色。做起来之后影响力大，属于标杆性质的课程，可以吸引不少优质客户。收入高，而且从这个项目展开会有更多开拓型的事物出现。项目二:

Project 2: ⏎ Falls into the Dui trigram. Overall it feels less high-end than the first project in the Qian trigram. There are two possibilities: one is that its resources are not as good as the first project, the other is that its target customer group is younger. Both are possible. It is next to double Ding, so it is being pushed forward continuously, but over time it will definitely be slow and delayed. ⏎ A few points to note: ⏎ 1 The gate is in Fu Yin, meaning the person in charge has not taken action yet, but once they start, progress will come quickly. ⏎ 2 Both the pillar and the Jing (Shock) gate indicate deficiency: there is not enough capital investment, and there are also worries. ⏎ This project will start to move forward as early as next summer, or as late as summer 2025. It will launch faster than the first project. ⏎ Once it takes off, it will mostly attract mass-market customers. The income is average, it does not lose money, but it is not very outstanding.

项目二: 入兑卦，总体档次感觉不如乾卦的第一个项目，有两个可能，一个是它资源不及第一个项目，二是它面对的客群年纪小。这两个都可能。临双丁，在不断推动中，但久地必是缓慢拖延。几个说明点 1 门伏吟，为人目前还没有作为，但一旦开始做，很快就能有进展 2 柱和惊门都主缺，资金投入上还不足，也有忧虑。这个项目快的话在明年夏季开始有推动，晚的话到2025年夏季，比第一个项目会启动快些。做起来之后，吸引的多是大众客户，收入一般，也不亏，但是不算太出色。[image]

Suggestion: prioritize the first one. It has the Kai (Open) gate and Tian Xin star, meaning the course is very thoroughly researched, and the instructors are authoritative. You can talk to the person in charge, because it looks like the bottleneck is there — getting that person to move things forward is more important.

建议，优先推一，里面是开门和天心，说明课程研究的很深入，老师也权威，可以找负责人聊聊看，因为看着症结卡在这里，推动这个人更要紧

Client

That's so accurate, bestie

太准了集美

The description of the courses is especially spot on

就是对课程的描述特别准

08:13

Number 1 is an international certification program for suicide identification and prevention. It's run by an organization that specializes in suicide prevention, they've been doing this for 40 years, so it's very professional and authoritative.

1是一个自杀识别和预防的国际认证项目，一个专门做自杀预防的，就这个内容做了40年，所以是非常专业且很权威的。

Zongyuan

That is indeed very authoritative

那确实很权威

Client

It's an Australian program. Suicide rates are high over there, and Australia has a lot of these professional suicide prevention organizations, plus really large suicide hotlines. ⏎ None of these exist in China yet.

是澳大利亚的项目，本来那边自杀率就高，澳大利亚有很多这种自杀预防的专业机构，还有做得非常大的自杀热线。这些中国都没有

It really is a field I haven't stepped into before, with lots of potential for collaborations with government schools and communities.

确实是一个我没有涉足过的领域，有很多政府学校，社区的合作可能性。

I really felt that point — they work in bursts.

我确实感受到这一点，他们做事就是一阵阵的

No support, no approval, point 2 Xuan Wu is here too ⏎ confused, no clear point to apply force.

不支持，没有点头2玄武在这里也交迷惑，没有施力点。

Then number 2 is a program that teaches kids to develop comprehensively using Lego bricks

然后2，是一个教小朋友用乐高积木全面发展的项目

But the project is very interesting and has highlights

但是项目很有意思很有亮点

You can even tell that, that's amazing, dear

这都能看出来，牛逼了亲

Number 2: ⏎ trigram, overall feels less high-end than the first one in Qian trigram ⏎ two possibilities, one is its resources aren't as good as the first ⏎ the other is its target customer group is younger. Both of these

I've got you all confused with how accurate it is, hahaha

给你准迷糊了哈哈哈

Client

That day when you did a reading for that friend of mine from abroad. ⏎ He came over and asked me if I'd told you anything about him

那天你给我那个国外的朋友。看完卦，他跑过来问我是不是给你说了什么

I said I didn't say anything

我说啥也没说

It's so accurate hahahahahaha

太准了哈哈哈哈哈哈
