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; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb
EDUCATION will not; the world is full of educated derelicts
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has
solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
President Calvin
Coolidge
30th
president of the U.S (1872-1933)
Reflection: I think
what this quote means is that you don’t need talent, education, or genius to be
successful. This is saying if you're persistent you can accomplish anything you
want.
Example: If you're not
good at basketball you're persistent and if you never give up and always keep trying
you could be one of the best basketball players.
