Your Enthusiasm Will Pay off Can only people of unusual talent achieve their goals? Certainly not. Thomas Edison, the great inventor, once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." The famous Korean ballerina Kang Sue Jin is a case in point. Kang Sue Jin fell in love with ballet at the age of 14, a very late start for anyone who desires to be outstanding at the art. At the age of 16, she entered the Monaco Royal Ballet School where, at first, she was very anxious because other students performed far better than her. To master the necessary skills, she practiced for 15 hours a day. Her enthusiasm for ballet made her practice the moves hundreds, even thousands of times, until she perfected each one. In 1985, her constant effort helped her win the grand prize in a famous international competition in Lausanne, Switzerland.
