Edison's Genious: Outsourcing
Wednesday, May 29, 2002
"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" said Thomas Edison. Then again, Edison created a lab in Menlo Park that employed hundreds of scientists to flesh out his ideas.

So perhaps Edison's famous quote wasn't so much a statement that genius isn't a shortcut past hard work, but rather that the true genius busies himself with the inspiration, and gets others to do the perspiration for him.

Hmmm....
