滿腹奇才志未沖
鐵雞難舉意無容
張良指示身投漢
項羽烏江命自窮
His belly is full of rare talent, but his ambition has not been released.
An iron rooster is hard to lift, and his intentions find no room.
Zhang Liang pointed the way and he went over to Han.
Xiang Yu came to the Wu River, and his fate ran out.
What this lot says
A talented person is not used where he is, moves to a place that will use him, and the old master meets his end.
It is a good lot about moving to a better fit when the present one has no room for you.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
