"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistance.
TALENT will not; nothing is more common than unseccessful 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 the probelms of the human race."
President Calvin Coolidge
30th president of US (1872-1933)
I think this statement is true becuase he is explaining the truth about about Talent that nothing can take the place of persistance and that not even genius but that education is full of that arond the world. Nothing in gthe world would take persistance and that persitatance is very important.
