You'll not prosper from others doing the hard yards for you.

I think it is a bit of both Snert. How do you think the great artists - musicians - scientists conjure up great works? If you delve a bit deeper, you will find there is always an element or elements which have been obtained from somewhere else in addition to hard slog. Whether this be conscious (pinching and borrowing ideas and inputs from elsewhere) or unconscious (influence, education etc).
