Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. But that 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than that 99% perspiration.

-Edison

Of course, this sentence itself has not been replaced, but it happened that the key sentence behind it was missed every time: "But that 1. It is even more important than the 99% sweat ".As you can see, without the latter sentence, the meaning of the whole sentence has completely changed. Edison is of course a genius, and he also believes in genius. He holds a" conditional recognition "attitude towards genius, that is, genius is the most important, but genius also needs hard work. Edison admits hard work, but in the final analysis, he pays more attention to inspiration. There is only this first sentence, which is equivalent to completely denying the meaning of inspiration.
