Student Success Statement (Calvin Coolidge)


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

Reflection:

This is one of the most powerful quotes about persistence that you’ll ever hear.  Talent will not take the place of persistence, Intellectual wrong.  ‘Press on’ will always solve the problem. Determination, Wisdom, Heart, Compassion, Dedication, the list goes on and on.  Multiple answers though is can become the greatest weapon.
