The road ahead is dim and uncertain
The poem
渺渺前途事可疑石中藏玉有誰知一朝良臣分明剖始覺其中碧玉奇
In English
The road ahead is dim and uncertain,and who knows there is jade hidden in the stone?One day a good official cuts it open clearly,and only then does one see the wonder of the green jade within.
What it says
The road ahead looks uncertain and no one knows there is jade in the stone. The poem says that once someone cuts the stone open, the green jade is revealed. Your worth may not be seen yet, but it is still there; keep refining yourself and wait for the right eyes.
A thought to take with you
If you are not being noticed, keep refining yourself; your worth is not lessened by that.
