What did Edison meant when he said genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration?

Answer:
If at first you don't succeed,try try again!- Edison tried several THOUSAND different variations when he was trying to figure out how to make his lightbulb burn for a long time without burning out.When asked if all of his failures had discouraged him he said No because he now knows the ways it doesn't work and he was closer to finding the way it will work.
