Of course it’s Edison’s words. Genius is 1 inspiration plus 99 perspiration.

When I was in school, this sentence was everywhere in the classroom and corridors. The teacher posted it to encourage us, asking everyone to study hard and study hard. At that time, I felt that there was nothing wrong with this sentence. Not only Edison, our own ancients also taught us to be diligent. God rewards those who work hard, dance when they hear a chicken, cut a wall to steal light, and so on.

But later, when I saw the second half of this famous saying, I really collapsed. Edison said the truth, "But the inspiration of 1 is the most important, even more than the sweat of 99%." "Important" values ??have collapsed.

But if you think about it calmly, this is the way a smart person should think.

Inspiration is the goal and direction of our efforts. If the direction is wrong and the method is wrong and the target is deviated, what is the use of working hard. For example, if you are walking in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the further you will deviate, and the harder you try, the more you will fail.

So most of the time, it’s better not to be moved by yourself and say that I worked very hard and stayed up late to work overtime. It’s really useless. If the method is wrong, there will be no good results. There are many people in this world. Things are more important than hard work, such as inspiration.
