STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

"Nothing in the world can take the place of 

Persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common that 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

30th President of US(1872-1933)

Reflection:

I think what it's trying to say is that If you fail then you are most likely going to succeed and you will learn from your mistakes, and that's what made you a better person. If people say that you can do it and that you are never going to succeed in life, then prove the wrong.
