This equation has been embedded in my mind since antiquity ... my parents and teacher tried to instill this cliche from Thomas Edison as the right formula to success. But with the turn of the century where the information age is at dawn.. I would like to add to this equation an addend of significant importance.. for me, Success = 1% Inspiration + 70% Right Information + 29% perspiration.... In this time of multi-tasking, not everything is achieved through hard work. What do you think about my new equation? What do you think about the saying? Can you comment further?

Hi! I think the "right information" is already embedded inside the "persperation." Which means we have to look for the right information before we can work on whatever it is we want. It tells us that success is not just luck but hard work which we get from searching the right information.

Hahaha I think that is a funny but true way of saying it. If you want something I believe you do have to work at it. Sometimes you get lucky and catch a break but most of the time successful people worked hard for their success. I work hard and I am hoping in the future I will have much success. I am particularly talking about money. I am saving a lot and working a lot and doing everything I can to make money now so I can succeed when I am older.
