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 and DETERMINATION alone are omnipotent. The slogan "Press on " has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. "

President Calvin Coolidge

We all should get a clue what President Coolidge has to say about persistence. He is stating that Talent, genius , and education will take the place of persistence. Talent is common when unsuccessful men have talent and Genius is an unrewarded proverb. I very much agree that you need persistence and determination to be successful. The slogan press on has always solved and will continue to solve problems of the human race. For example in basketball you need persistence and determination to be successful.
