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, 3oth president of the United States-------
Reflection: I think for some reason this quote confused me in so
many ways. I have no idea what this means. But what I do think it means is that
Persistence is a unique characteristic that all great people should have. I
think it means that no other characteristic is as important as persistence
itself and with it anyone can find their true talent and use it to be
successful in life.
