答案 Perspiration Is More Important than Inspiration Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists, points out the relation between perspiration and inspiration by saying that "genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration". I do believe that Einstein’s opinion is true. As far as I am concerned, inspiration is only temporary and void, but hard work is indispensable as the basis of success. To start with, inspiration is often short-lived and cannot ensure success. A famous Chinese fable The Pity of Zhongyong records the story of a child. Zhongyong is thought to be a genius when he is very little because in spite of his young age, he can write poems and essays even better than great writers and poets. Apparently, Zhongyong is highly gifted and blessed with inspiration. However, Zhongyong does not make good use of his talent. He prides himself in the fact that he does not have to work hard to be better than others and gives up learning completely. A few years later, Zhongyong’s gift gradually fades and he becomes just as normal as others. This fable is an excellent example warning us that inspiration won’t last long. It has to be maintained through personal endeavor. If we do not cherish the inspiration and work hard, we will end up gaining nothing. Besides, hard work helps to realize inspiration and serves as the basis of success. While it is true that many successes start with a good idea, it should also be noted that what matters more is the hard work that follows in order to make the idea come true. Entrepreneurs who are just starting a business know this best. They may see a golden business opportunity in a flash, but this is far from enough. In order to seize the opportunity, they have to make detailed plans, do feasibility studies, look for investments and decide locations before they can open up a business. After this, they still have to learn to do marketing, promotion and coordinate all sorts of relations of the stakeholders. Various problems will occur and they must be prepared to solve them one by one. If you ask a successful businessman about the secret of success, he will always tell you that his success is not only brought by inspiration, but more importantly based on years of unremitting efforts he has devoted to his career. Without actual action, thoughts will remain thoughts, intangible and void. To conclude, I agree with what Einstein says Inspiration may be important, but it is hard work that makes things happen.
