Student Success Statement
“Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with
talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence
and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and
always will solve the problem of the human race.”
--Calvin
Coolidge, 30th president of the United States
Calvin Coolidge is wise, since he recognizes that nothing will
ever replace persistence. Nothing will be the same or male up for persistence—its
persistence or nothing. An example would be, you are a genius or having a
talent. Such as, if you are the smartest in your class, if you don’t persist
and put effort into what you do, then there will be no outcome. Now, if you are
the best basketball player on the team, but you don’t persist and push yourself
every day to do better; then don’t expect to get a scholarship. You can be the
best in a certain criteria, but if you don’t work towards it, all that won’t
matter. Persistence!
