The Statement of the first hexagram
A youth must be steadfast.
I do not seek the naive youth.
The naive youth seeks me.

but after three times, it is irritating.
Annoyed, I explain no further.
Nevertheless, a gainful omen.

Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
