Follow your inspiration or Go by the book?

Edison said that Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Motivational speakers say there’s nothing worse than working your heart out to climb the ladder only to find out that it was up against the wrong wall. Many would agree that Edison was a Genius who wasn’t afraid to sweat, but they’d equally say that it took more than sweat to make Edison a genius. Anyone who has seen the adventures of Edison knows that Edison’s inspiration drove him to perspiration– giving us the clarity to understand that even geniuses must work hard and sweat a lot to be successful at business.

While some might disagree with me here, I’ll still say it. We are living in the age of the artist and creativity is king. I believe that a great deal of our personal success will come as a result of what we do with what we have. In every case, being creative does give you the edge and the advantage.
