 Quote:History will not remember you for your IQ. It will remember you for what you did. As Thomas Edison said, “Genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration.”
Being a genius is not a birthright. While some of us may be more intellectually gifted than others, if we do not have the commitment to do something with our mind than what is the point? I’d rather have a team of hard-workers, committed to changing the world than a team of geniuses, committed only to thinking about changing the world.
Edison also said, “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” My advice to you: don’t give up until they call you a genius.
