“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”
–Thomas A. Edison
Ingenuity can be defined as the mastery of a particular area of study that goes above and beyond the criteria for excellence. There is no one “type” of genius because an individual can be a genius in the Sciences, or they can be a genius in terms of the Arts or they can simply be a genius in terms of even nonacademic aspects of lie (i.e. socializing). There can even be a collaboration of different forms ingeniousness within one individual. Although reaching ingenuity may be difficult, it is most certainly not impossible. As Thomas Edison said in the above quote, genius is “ninety-nine percent perspiration.” That is, if an individual strives their best to become a genius, they will accomplish that goal. So, one should overcome their doubts and fears and if they strive, they will become a Thomas Edison or Albert Einstein one day too!
