Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

How can I escape heavy institutional demands for service and create more time for my own projects?
and received a response of:
4 Youth
The Statement of the first hexagram
A youth must be steadfast.
I do not seek the naive youth.
The naive youth seeks me.
At the first divination, I explain,
but after three times, it is irritating.
Annoyed, I explain no further.
Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
The changing lines
no changing lines
The Image of the first hexagram
A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
