Potential is usually defined as working hard to get something done, or expressing possibity to get something done. You
need potential because even though you may be smart and come up with your own ideas, you need to work hard to get your ideas
expressed and finish your work. Thomas Edison once remarked that "Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration." He was simply
remarking that although you can come up with an idea, you have to keep working, no matter how many failures, until you finally
get it right. Another time, when asked about the light bulb "failures" he stated that he didn't fail, he just learned
10,000 ways not to make a light bulb and 1 way to make one. This just goes to show that you should always try, no matter how
many times you fail, because you will learn from each and every mistake. You need potential to do that, learning from mistakes
and trying harder the next time.
