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 determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

President Calvin Coolidge    

This statement is true because you could have talent but if you don’t show it every day or try your best you will not succeed. There are many educated people in this world but if they do not persist in what they want to do they will not prosper.
