Student success statement

“Nothing in the world can take the place of PERSISTANCE”

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 the problems of the human race”

President Calvin Coolidge

What I think this quote means is that nothing can replace the word persistence because talent can’t get you what you want only persistence because persistence is a way of not giving up and to keep trying.

For example if you fail at test then don’t give up and keep trying until you pass.
