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 wills 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 problem of the human race."
—Calvin Coolidge, 30th
president of the United States
Reflection:
What this statement
probably means is that nothing can replace persistence and persistence &
determination by themselves are both very powerful. In other words, persistence
and determination are very powerful that they cannot be replaced. For example,
if you were doing bad in a soccer game and is about to give up, you keep on
going showing persistence and determination, you end up playing a good game.
