Stick #49: Let Patience Be Your Foundation (Neutral)
忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空。小不忍则乱大谋，忍中有智是英雄。
Plain reading
This lot says brief patience stills storm. Small impatience ruins large plan. Patience is not fear — it is wisdom storing force for later victory and home peace.
Interpretation
"Let Patience Be Your Foundation" is a neutral stick. Endure a moment — wind and wave calm. Impatience breaks strategy. Patience holds wisdom — hero's patience, not coward's.
Advice
On hot words, three breaths before reply. Patience has limit — it is space for better move, not endless retreat.
Drawn from Han Xin enduring humiliation and Goujian tasting gall — patience stores, later triumphs.
