Everyday Life
Why did I learn a feng shui compass after already assessing homes through chess divination?

I wanted to clarify what I did not understand. Early home assessments used readings, directions, and perceptions. Meeting experienced colleagues using compasses made me curious about the tool's principles.
I originally could not read one. Seeing widespread, longstanding use suggested something worth exploring rather than rejecting through ignorance. When an opportunity arose, I studied with a teacher.
Learning still needed testing. I first examined my own, family, and friends' surroundings against actual conditions, considering strengths and adjustments. Like early divination research, feedback built experience. Only after personal understanding and perceived correspondence did I serve clients.
For me, the lesson is learning the unfamiliar, then applying and comparing to continue learning. I did not know everything initially, nor rush to serve before understanding.
