Leo stared at the two job offers on his screen, his heart pounding. On the left was an offer from a top tech giant—stable, well-paying, the 'golden ticket' in his parents' eyes. On the right, an invitation from a small startup. The salary was half of the other, but the project was his dream field, full of creativity and challenge.

"How do I even choose?" he muttered, a question that had been tormenting him for a full week.

He felt like he was at a massive crossroads, with two paths leading to vastly different futures. If he chose stability, he feared his future self would regret not taking a chance on his dream. If he chose the dream, he worried about the risk of failure and disappointing his family.

Anxiety was an invisible net, trapping him. He scrolled through his social media feeds. Friends were starting to shine in their new jobs or enjoying graduation trips. Only he was stuck, paralyzed by this decision.

Absently, he clicked on a link a friend had shared—an online divination site that blended ancient wisdom with modern psychology. With a 'why not' attitude, he went for it. The interface was clean, guiding him to quiet his mind and focus on his confusion.

He typed in his question: "Regarding my career choice, should I pursue stability or passion?"

He clicked "Begin Divination." A set of intriguing hexagrams and an interpretation appeared. The result was "Xiao Ji" (Minor Good Fortune), and the reading didn't give him a direct answer. Instead, it said:

"With a fire in your heart and a light in your eyes, why fear the long road ahead? There is no right or wrong choice, only whether you can bear the cost of your decision and embrace the growth it brings. A small flame, if nurtured, can become a wildfire."

Those words struck him like a lightning bolt, instantly clearing the fog in his mind. He realized he had been searching for a "correct" answer, ignoring his own inner voice. What he truly feared wasn't failure, but the responsibility that came with making a choice.

He looked again at the startup offer. Despite the lower salary, he could feel that inner fire burning brightly. He remembered the passion he had for his university projects, the late nights fueled by excitement, and his endless fascination with the field.

"Yes, I'm willing to take the risk, and I'm eager for that growth."

Taking a deep breath, he respectfully declined the corporate offer and then replied to the startup's HR with his confirmation. The moment he hit 'send,' the weight that had been crushing him for a week vanished. He felt an incredible sense of relief and determination.

The road ahead might be challenging, but he knew he had made a choice true to himself. And that was enough.
