Hiro’s Japanese Inspirational Sayings

May 1st, 2008

My inspirational saying is this. This is in Japanese “天才は1%のひらめきと、99%の努力から生まれるのだ“ When I change this in English, it says “ Intelligence comes from 1%, of the flash, and comes from 99% of the effort.”

I think this saying means “if you don’t do it, you can’t do it.” Because if somebody doesn’t want to do their work, if they don’t do it, they can’t do it. This saying is from Thomas Edison, the king of experiments. When I saw this saying , I thought I was not doing my work that well.So I started doing my work. I started going to Japanese school, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays.
