THOSE “EUREKA MOMENTS” usually come after years of hard work. Yep.
I think that too many people like the idea of brilliance, where ideas come easily in a flash of inspiration, because it lets them off the hook — no hard work required, and if you’re not one of those brilliant people, why try? — but alas it doesn’t work that way. As Thomas Edison supposedly said, 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration.
