a prudent man should behave like skilled archers who, when the target appears too distant, know the limits of their bow and aim significantly higher than the mark, not to reach that great height, but so that by aiming high, they can successfully hit their intended target. this principle advises that one should emulate great men and follow their paths, so even if one cannot match their prowess, the effort will still carry an air of greatness.
