According to Thomas Edison, genius is 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration*. Personally, I'm not so sure.

Sport, business, arts, whatever: who is the most talented individual you know / have seen?** Why? Do you think they are a genius? Tell me about them.

(* tbf, Edison was probably 20% perspiration, 1% inspiration, 79% nicking other people's ideas. Hey ho.)
