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 problems of the human race.”
-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States
What I think this quote means is that even if you have a talent, even if you are a genius, that won’t help you succeed in life. What will help you succeed in life is persistence.
