The original intention is:
Life is ambitious in all directions and I want to travel to the ends of the earth. Who will guide you? Whether you go to the south or the north, you have to rely on your own efforts. On the ugly day, naturally, with the help of noble people, the exam is bound to be smooth, and you should be the top scholar.
Explain in plain language:
A person wandering, has experienced all kinds of places, but wondering how to get ahead, or who can rely on for help.
The Year of the Rat and the Year of the Ox belong to a period of struggle and gain, but we still have to grasp them ourselves. Only by grasping it well can we achieve something!
Someone beat me to it when I answered the phone, hehe!
