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 off the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

Persistence is a very important factor in success, even more so than natural talent. It is also available to everyone, everyone can harness its power and do great things.
