Student Success Statement 84

Student Success Statement
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than successful 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 problems of the human race.”

Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the US
 i think this means that nothing will ever replace persistence. its persistence or nothing. An example would be, you are a genius or having a talent.  if you don’t persist and put effort into what you do, then there will be no outcome. Now, if you are the best 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!
