あなたが思っているほど簡単ではないのですよ
「あなたが思っているほど簡単ではないのですよ」（ロシア女帝 エカチェリーナ２世）
この言葉、無制限の権力、ロシア史上最強女帝といわれたエカチェリーナ２世の言葉だという。
本当に優秀な人は、周りの人たちの力を利用するのが上手で、逆にそうでない人は、自分の弱さを隠すために、去勢ばかり張る。
ロシア史上最強女帝は、もちろん、周りの人たちの力を利用するのが桁外れに上手かったんだったんだろうけれど、自分の弱さを隠すために去勢ではなく、自分の脅威になりそうなものの排除など、実際、あなたが思っているほど簡単ではなかったのだ。

It’s not as easy as you think” (Catherine II of Russia)
These words, unlimited power and the most powerful Empress in Russian history, are said to have been spoken by Catherine II.
Those who are really good are good at using the power of those around them, while those who are not are just castrating themselves to hide their own weakness.
The most powerful Empress in Russian history was, of course, exceptionally good at using the power of those around her, but it was not as easy as you might think to eliminate those who might threaten you, rather than castrating them to hide your weakness.
