4 - Youthful Folly

This hexagram tells how in youth people tend to lack wisdom due to lack of experience and how there is no shame in asking for guidance. This hexagram tells how personal growth can be achieved at a much faster rate by being taught by those who are wiser and know better. It is just a matter of taking small steps to achieve larger goals as large goals can typically be broken down into multiple smaller and easier to achieve goals that lead to the desired outcome.

When the first line is changing, self-discipline and contemplation are needed but one should be weary of overwork.
When the second line is changing, it is stated that if influence is desired at this time that inner strength and calmness will be most practical.
When the third line is changing, seeking truth and its value will be useful.
When the fourth line is changing, letting go of the ego and fear is needed. Humility will help aid in avoiding misfortune.
When the fifth line is changing, seeking the truth in an open manner will be of aid.
When the sixth line is changing, it is okay to be a fool but learning from foolish behaviour should be done.
