National Inventors Day

Thomas Edison

"Genius is one percent inspiration & ninety-nine percent perspiration."

This quote of Thomas Edison gets me thinking. And what he says is true. Most of the things a genius does are done out of the single fact that your curious to see what happens. And when you have an idea set in mind and you want to see how it works out you have an inspiration. Hoping to get the results you want or if not something better. You also have perspiration. Just like when you are very wild & curious and your parents tell you not to mess around with something. You have an idea to see if that object can collaborate with other things. You have an inspiration. You also know that because they said not to do it you can get in trouble. But is worth the try. When you start running your little lab, you get all sweaty, all nervous to see the results you will get. You spend a longer time sweating then a longer time inspired. Once you get your results you found a new thing you have discovered for your own use. This is what I believe this quote means.

    I love this part. It's so true. Great ideas, motivational thoughts, and goals are all such quick processes, but most of the time is spent sweating trying to accomplish these ideas and goals. Very insightful and well written best friend. :)
