Student Success Statement
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more important 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 of the human race.”
Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the United States

This is an amazing statement by Calvin Coolidge. Persistence and determination are both important qualities that will allow success. For example, let’s say that one of your classmates is labeled as a genius; Does that ensure success? No, what if he does not complete his homework and thinks of himself superior to his peers. Will an employer hire him if he is not as approachable as the other applicants; chances are that he will not be employed for the position. Determination and diligence is what allows people to realize their ambitions not talent. Talent is only properly applied when someone who expresses the qualities above it can never ensure success because many do not apply themselves and therefore do not succeed.

“Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.”
Herbert Kaufman

This is an amazing statement by Herbert Kaufman. Persistence is an endearing quality that is of great importance when trying to achieve an ambition. Courage, diligence, initiative, and persistence are all important when trying to achieve an ambition, but fail. What is failure? Failure can be defined many ways. In our case, failure is the ill attempt in completing an ambition. If you do not complete something then should you overlook the ambition and move along? NO, failure allows us to better ourselves and evaluate the aspect(s) that made you unable to complete your ambition the first time. With all of the qualities listed above will serve as a figurative rehabilitation center where courage would inspire you to persist in the completion of the action and where diligence and initiative along with your ambition will generate motivation and allows for victory.

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”
Matt Biondi

This is an amazing quote by Matt Biondi. Persistence will always prove a formidable adversary for failure. Although in some cases failure can assist others, most of the time it is useless it will not aid you in accomplishing anything. Persistence is as valuable as hope itself because without persistence of an action there would not be any hope of accomplishing it vice-versa. For example, let’s say you currently have a bad grade in your history class and you are currently beginning your second semester and would like to maintain the A that is prearranged to all students in the beginning of each semester. To accomplish this feat you will have to evaluate what aspects of your life endanger your grade and attempt to ignore those aspects and focus on you studies. Development is only accomplished through perseverance, but failure is accomplished through feebleness.
