Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent inspiration. (Harper Monthly, September issue 1932).

Translated into Chinese, it means: Genius is 1% talent, plus 99% sweat.

Extended data:

Edison tried more than 6000 materials and 7000 experiments before he invented the light bulb.

Finally, I found a filament material that can last for 45 hours, which also marks the invention of a great electric lamp!

It also confirms Edison's famous saying: "Genius is 99% sweat and 1% inspiration."

Edison was the first person in human history to use a large number of production principles and electrical engineering research laboratories to patent inventions, which had a great and far-reaching impact on the world.
