"No se requieren grandes habilidades para un historiador; porque en la composición histórica, el juicio para recopilar y disponer los hechos, y la diligencia en buscarlos, son suficientes."
— Samuel Johnson

Simplified Meaning:
You don't need to be super smart to be a good historian. What matters more is being good at collecting information and organizing it well. For example, think of a detective solving a case. The detective doesn’t have to be a genius; they just need to gather clues carefully and put them together in the right order to understand what happened. Similarly, a historian needs to find facts from the past and arrange them in a way that makes sense. This means you can become a good historian by working hard to find accurate details and using good judgment to present them clearly. It's more about effort and organization than natural talent.
