Hard work vs genius

Would we have good music, art, or technology if people
didn't work hard for them?
It may sound cliché, but there's no such thing as a genius innovator. Edison, Ford, Einstein, Jobs, and many others brought about genially fresh ideas and they worked really hard. Edison tried hundreds of times before successfully designing a decent lightbulb, Ford was obsessed with cost savings, Einstein was considered inapt for mathematics as a child, and Jobs loved simplicity. What do these innovators from different eras have in common? They all had a strong vision but they all worked hard to achieve their goals.
