塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导
During his second residence in Rome, Cellini met with extensive patronage, and he was taken into the Pope’s service in the double capacity of goldsmith and musician. He was constantly studying and improving himself by acquaintance with the works of the best masters. He mounted jewels, finished enamels, engraved seals, and designed and executed works in gold, silver, and bronze, in such a style as to excel all other artists. Whenever he heard of a goldsmith who was famous in any particular branch, he immediately determined to surpass him. Thus it was that he rivalled the medals of one, the enamels of another, and the jewellery of a third; in fact, there was not a branch of his business that he did not feel impelled to excel in.

白话
切利尼第二次住在罗马时得到广泛赞助，被教皇招入麾下，同时当金匠和乐师。他不断学习，通过接触最优秀大师的作品来提高自己。他镶嵌宝石、完成珐琅、雕刻印章，设计并制作金、银、铜器，风格超过所有其他艺术家。每当他听说某位金匠在某个领域出名，就立刻决心超过对方。就这样，他赶上了一个人的奖章、另一个人的珐琅、第三个人的珠宝；事实上，他的行当里没有哪个分支他不觉得非精通不可。
上下文
《自助》中切利尼在罗马受教皇赏识，斯迈尔斯强调他见贤思齐、样样争胜的劲头。
