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

I think that
what president Coolidge is trying to say is that you could be the most
talented, smartest, or most educated man on the planet but you’ll still be unsuccessful.
You’ll be unsuccessful because it won’t matter how smart or talented you are
because the only thing that will matter is how much persistence you show.
Persistence is what will help you throughout your whole life, no matter how
smart or talented or educated you are.
What Ralph Emerson is saying is the goal we’re trying to accomplish
will get easier to accomplish over time. Not because its changing but because
our persistence has made that goal seem easy. If you work hard enough even the
most impossible tasks can, and will seem easy..jpg)
What Og
Mandno is saying is that he will try, and try, and try something until he
succeeds in that certain thing. He will persist until he is the best at what he’s
trying to accomplish. Persistence is a major key to success. You can’t succeed if
you don’t try..jpg)
What I think
this quote means is that it is possible to be a failure who later on becomes a
champion. All you need is to show persistence and hard work. You cannot become
a champion if you don’t show persistence; you’ll just stay a failure. Persistence is a key to success.
