This is Edison's famous saying

Original text: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. But the one percent of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent of sweat.

Explanation:

1. Of course, this sentence itself has not been changed, but the key sentence behind it is missed every time: "But the 1% of inspiration It is the most important, even more important than 99% of sweat." As you can see, without the following sentence, the meaning of the whole sentence has completely changed. Of course Edison was a genius, and he also believed in genius. Genius takes an attitude of "conditional recognition."

2. Genius is the most important, but genius also requires hard work. Edison admitted hard work, but in the final analysis he paid more attention to inspiration. There has always been only this first sentence, which is equivalent to completely denying the meaning of inspiration. Remember, People cannot live without innate inspiration, nor can they live without acquired education
