3 STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENTS

CALVIN COOLIDGE QUOTE

“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 problem of the human race.”

Reflection: What I think about this quote of Calvin Coolidge is that nothing in

this world can take the place of persistence. Not even people who are smart,

talented, and more. We should have persistence and determination to

accomplish good things for us and everyone in the world. You should always

persists your dreams and accomplish them. There are always problems with

human race don’t be a racist person because you wouldn’t want people making

fun of discriminate your color.

HERBERT KAUFMAN QUOTE

  “Failure is only postponed success as long as

courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence

is the habit of victory.”

Reflection: What I think about this quote of

Herbert Kaufman is that if we are failures we can

postpone success as long as our courage coaches

ambition. If we have persistence then we are going

to win and have a nice destiny by not have ambition

for what other people have.

CONFUCIUS QUOTE

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

Reflection: What I think about this quote of Confucius is that

people know and see what is right and they just ignored it they

don’t care. But others who see it and want to be courage they

can’t because they might be scared or they don’t know how to

help out. People should always do what is right and have

courage. For example when you see someone robbing just call

the police and try to help or just wait while the police come.

Don’t just see and leave.
