Following has supreme success; perseverance furthers, no blame. Thunder has entered the lake and rests there — the strong placing itself beneath the joyous, autumn's thunder withdrawing into stillness. Whoever would have followers must first know how to follow: adaptation to the demands of the time is the condition of all leading.
Thunder in the middle of the lake: the superior person at nightfall goes indoors for rest and recuperation. Following includes following the day's rhythm — there is a time for action and a time when the wise deliberately rest.
This is a season for flexibility: follow the flow of events, the abler leader, the emerging trend — not as surrender but as the intelligence of water finding its course. If you lead, win following by serving what your people actually need; obedience is only ever lent to those who themselves obey something higher. And honour the rest half of the rhythm: adapt to evening as well as morning. What you join wisely now will carry you further than anything you could push alone.
