2.What kind of person makes great discoveries?
3.Which is more important for making a great discovery, talent or effort?
Most great discoverers are brilliant and hard-working. Many are perfectionists who are unwilling to accept anything but the best.
I think both talent or effort are important. If a person doesn’t have some talent, it is possible even though he/she works hard, it will be difficult to succeed. On the other hand ,people rarely achieve anything without putting in efforts.
