Persistence

From Jaime Austria:
Here's something that I learned through Andy Kilpatrick:
...................................................................................
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 alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge
