“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people 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” ~”
— Calvin Coolidge (via dailyinspiredthoughts)
As a new school year has begun, this quote sums up what really creates success in whatever you do. Only you and your determination will accomplish whatever it is you set out to do.
