Persistence

Posted on August 3, 2009

“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.”

– Calvin Coolidge

    I love this. It can apply to so many different areas of life. It reminds me of a quote my parents used to use with my teenage cousin that they sent on a mission. They used to say, “Work is hard and hard is good”. Work and persistence go hand in hand.

    I’ve always found that lying, cheating and stealing work better on a personal level, but maybe thats just me.
