STATEMENT 1
“ To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage."-Confucius.
The statement allows us to envision an example of an individual who lacks courage and moral integrity. If
you were to participate in a proper activity and you were aware the activity was correct you are exhibiting moral
integrity and self initiative. If you were to participate in an improper activity and you were aware that the activity
was improper you would lack moral integrity and self initiative, because many individuals who participate within
unjust activities are usually individuals who lack self initiative. If you were to be aware of a correct activity and not
participate with in the activity, you lack the courage needed to stimulate your self initiative and moral integrity.
Suppose there is a child who does not assist an individual his group of friends despise, the child is aware of the
other individuals need, but he decides to follow his acquaintances and leave the other child helpless, so therefore
this child lacks the courage needed to stimulate his self initiative.

STATEMENT 2
"Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition, the habit
of persistence is the habit of victory."-Herbert Kaufman
The statement is attempting to convey the idea that illustrates the value of courage, diligence,
initiative, and persistence within an individual's life. What is failure, failure is the one's ill attempt
at mastering a certain skill, while success is the correct attempt at a certain objective, this is the
contrast between the two aspects of life. But failure also allows us to evaluate our actions and
determine whether or not we can properly succeed, but one can only succeed if he or she were
to allow their courage to guide them through their failures, this can allow them to create
ambitions, but they must possess the persistence needed in order to succeed. In order for an
individual to succeed and evaluate themselves they need to allow persistence to become habitual
with in their lives.

STATEMENT 3
" 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: the world is full of educated dialects. persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan 'Press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."- Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of
the United States.
The quote is attempting the convey the importance of the quality known as persistence. When a certain task is attempted
you can always expect Adversarial forces that will approach you and attempt to halt your development and if we are not able
to exhibit persistence we will not be able to overcome such forces even if we are full of talent the talent will not allow us to
overcome every situation. But i believe that some aspects of talent are constructed through persistence, suppose you were
attempting to run one mile in under 5:00 minutes, if you were to attempt and fail, but if you were to persist you would
construct a talent that can be applied into running, so therefore persistence has allowed you to develop a talent. The most
important aspect of persistence is the applicability of the quality, the quality can be implemented onto every aspect of your life,
such a s athletics, academics, or extra curricular activities. So therefore persistence will always assist us in the development of
talents if it is applied properly.
