I came across this great quote by Calvin Coolidge (30th President of the USA) that I wanted to share with you...
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
Calvin Coolidge
Although I agree that persistence & determination are formulas for success, I still agree that education is important. I also think that education without determination is fruitless
Every time I read about someone successful, the common themes are;
- They have come from a tough background
- Dropped out of high school
- Dropped out of University
- Were told that they were not good enough
- Were told that their idea wouldn't work
If you are going through something difficult at the moment, it's not a bad thing, it's the world telling you that you are on the right path and you are doing something worthwhile. Change at the end of the path is likely (and most likely of a positive nature). As they say, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it!
