"Il n'y a rien de plus difficile à entreprendre, de plus périlleux à mener, ou de plus incertain dans son succès, que de prendre l'initiative de l'introduction d'un nouvel ordre des choses"
— Niccolo Machiavelli

Simplified Meaning:
Starting new projects or making significant changes is really tough. Think about a time when someone tried to introduce a new way of doing things at work or school. It’s difficult because people are usually comfortable with their routines and may resist change. For example, when companies switch to new technology, employees often worry they may not understand it or that it might complicate their jobs. This resistance makes it risky because the person leading the change could face a lot of pushback and obstacles. Also, there's no guarantee it will succeed because it's hard to predict how well people will adapt to the new system. Leading such changes takes courage and persistence because the path is full of challenges and uncertainties.
