Who Will Cry When You Die

14. 
Remember, Genius 
Is 99 Percent Inspiration 
The celebrated inventor Thomas Edison is well known for his statement: “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 
percent perspiration.” While I believe that hard work is essential to a life of real success and fulfillment, I think 
that being filled with a deep sense of inspiration and commitment to making a difference in the world is an even 
more important attribute. 
All of the great geniuses of the world were inspired and driven by their desire to enrich the lives of 
others. When you study their lives, you will discover that this desire became almost an obsession for most of 
them. It consumed them and occupied every cell of their minds. Edison was inspired to manifest the visions he 
saw on the picture screen of his imagination into reality. Jonas Salk, who discovered the polio vaccine, was 
inspired to help others from suffering from this dreaded affliction. And Marie Curie, the great Noble Prize – 
winning scientist, was inspired to serve humanity through her discovery of radium. As Woodrow Wilson said
“You are not here to merely make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with 
greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you 
impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” 
How inspired are you in your own life? Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings or do you simply 
lie there with a sense of emptiness flooding through your body? If your level of inspiration is lower than you 
know it should be, read a good self – help book or listen to a motivating audiocassette program. Attend a public 
lecture by someone you admire or spend a few hours studying the biography of one of your heroes. Start 
spending time with people who are passionate about what they are doing in their lives and dedicated to making 
the best out of life. With a healthy dose of inspiration, you will quickly raise your life to a whole new plane of 
living.
