Albert Camus.

In my opinion, the proverb “Success is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration” means perspiration is important to create inspiration. In other word, when the act of perspiring takes place, it causes people to have exciting new ideas or make them want to create something. In short, the effort makes people want to be better and more successful. I will show you the reasons why perspiration is important to create inspiration.

First, inspiration is made up of perspiration. To explain this meaning, there is a connection between perspiration and inspiration, and it is also difficult to separate perspiration and inspiration. Without inspiration, it is a waste of perspiration. On the other hand, it is impossible to use inspiration to take advantage without perspiration. Let’s assume there are two different novelists. One of them reads books for ten hours a day. The other reads books for only one hour a day. If this behaviors continues through a year, it is obvious that the former novelist is able to come up with a variety of new ideas in his mind for writing novels comparing to the latter.　Without mentioning those explanations, there are not any people who were born with special gifts or talents. It seems as if a baby is blank paper because his brain contains nothing special for knowledge. During the infancy, intelligence and talents tend to be inputted by nurture and education, so a person without inputting is not able to output. The environment also affects our behavior either well or badly. Therefore, abilities and greatest human achievements should be acquired by one’s own efforts, not inherited. The relationship between perspiration and inspiration is inseparable.
