The document discusses the importance of persistence and determination for student success. It provides three quotes from Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Kaufman, and Confucius that all emphasize persisting through challenges with courage and ambition rather than giving up. Persistence and determination, according to Calvin Coolidge, are what ultimately solve problems rather than relying on talent or intelligence alone.

2. • “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 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, 30th president of the United States

3. •
“Failure is only postponed success as long as courage
coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of
victory.”
-Herbert Kaufman

4. • “To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”
-Confucius
