Student Success Statement


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: What this quote is saying is that if you have talent and you have a mentality of just keeping moving forward no matter what you will achieve your goals. Some men are unsuccessful and have many talents but they “press on” and he says. If you just keep going you will achieve what you want to achieve.
