Answer 2

Famous writers have often said that ideas are a dime a dozen; it's the discipline of sitting down and doing the work that makes the difference between writers and wanna-be writers. I think this is true for every profession or endeavor: it doesn't matter how many ideas you have, until you put them into practice.

Answer 3

He meant that once you have an idea the only way for it to come to fruition is through hard work. He meant "genius" is not all intellect. You can't get anywhere by just being smart.

Answer 4

the one percent is your goal/idea/what you want to achieve, the 99 percent is the work,effort,sweat you have to go through to achieve your goal ex. say you wanted to loose weight or gain muscle or both(that is your goal and one percent) to do so you have to eat healthy, run, go to the gym etc. ( that is the perspiration/ 99 percent) hope this helps good luck

Answer 5

Its all about studying, and working hard. That helps you get the great idea. Then more hard work gets the idea accepted and into practice.

Answer 6
