If a man perform that, which hath not been attempted before; or attempted and given over; or hath been achieved, but not with so good circumstance; he shall purchase more honor, than by effecting a matter of greater difficulty or virtue, wherein he is but a follower.

一个人若完成前人未曾尝试、尝试后放弃，或虽已完成却不如此次完善的事，所获荣誉会超过完成更艰难、更出色却只是追随他人的事。
