爱迪生给我们的启示 6 Amazing Success Lessons from Thomas Edison Perspiration 汗水 “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” “天才就是百分之一的灵感加上百分之一的汗水。” Thomas Edison said, “The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it goes around wearing overalls and it looks like hard work.” There is no success without hard work; success is something that is only earned after much labor.
