Persistence
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

  1. To be quite frank I am not understanding these quotes today. What I do understand however, is that everyone takes things step by step. Rather their good or bad, choosing the right steps will be one step closer to your goal.

  2. IT IS SAID PERSISTENCE IS THE WAY TO SUCESS. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL REACH YOUR GOALS. WITH PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION YOU CAN REACH YOUR GOALS IF YOU SET YOUR MIND TO IT. ONE MUST FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS AND STAY ON TRACK IN ORDER TO REACH THEM. IF YOU HAVE PERSISTENCE AND STICK WITH IT, YOU WILL MAKE IT.

  3. Persist in everything you do or want to accomplish. Always Work Hard to achieve your goals. Determination can always lead you to what you want, to what you are working so hard to obtain. Every step you make can lead to greatness and it brings you closer to your goals. Persistence is the way to go when you feel that you cannot do or finish something.

  4. What i think this quote is trying to say is that you it's almost impossible to to succeed without persistence. If you fail, you have to persist to succeed. You might not succeed the first time or the second time but you have to be persistent. If your persistent, you might succeed your third try. Persist and you will succeed in anything.

  9. these pictures and quotes mention a lot of things, such as if you take the right path you have a good experience in life. a great journey is what your looking for when you choose the right. an achieved goal is what you want when your trying your best and choosing the right. choosing the right is choosing the best for yourself, the best education, work, career, everything.
    CHOOSE THE RIGHT, life will give you gift of achieved goals and such:)

  10. In order to succeed in life we have to be persistent, we cannot do one thing for a couple of days and then stop doing it. Success requires a little sacrifice, but at the end it is all worth it. Persistence will cause a lot of success in life and it will help you become a better person. Persistence will help you choose the right path and it will help you become a better person with others. Taking he right path will leave footsteps and it might help others in choosing their path and achieving success of their own.

  12. I hope people don't confuse persistence with overconfidence because it gets annoying. But, anyways... persistence is indeed an essential part to succeeding. If one doesn't have persistence and perseverance, one doesn't put effort. And without effort, how can you get anything done?

  14. I like that is says "persist", because you always have to be persistent if you want to succeed in life. You cannot give up because when you give up, you can never succeed. You also need to step into the right direction like it says in that quote because you need to know what you are doing and where you are heading if you want to reach your goal. Persistence is the key to everything you want in life. No matter how foggy the road looks, if that is your chosen path, keep moving forward. The road will clear up if you set your mind to it that it will. Choose The Right to succeed!!!

  15. I DO THINK THAT WITH PERSISTENCE YOU CAN ACHIEVE ALL YOU GOAL AND DREAMS IN LIFE. IF YOU DONT PERSIST TO FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAM YOU WILL NOT ACHIEVE IT. I LIKE THE QUOTE BECAUSE IT IS TRUE THAT NOTHING CAN REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT SOMETHING IMPORTANT IN LIFE TO HAVE.LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE AN ATHELTE WHO PERSISTS HARD TO BE A STARTER AND NOT IN THE BENCH.

  16. I guess do whatever you have to do to get through life, it might be hard but in the end it'll all be worth it. Just having persistence, character and honesty will help you out. It might be hard but it just brings you closer to your goal.
    The slideshow was nice and helpful, but i couldn't understand much because of the front.

  17. "Every foot in the right direction brings you closer to your goal" Thats far from wrong, it is defiantly right. We all have to persist until we succeed; working hard, having character, and determination will all pay off after all. That is Choosing The Right.

  18. The quote is good because there really are a lot of unsuccessful men/women in the world. Many people have certain talents but don't work at it to make it a profession. These people are (well according to the quote) commonly unsuccessful. I think it's because they end up doing something they don't want to do because they know they're talented, cut they are to lazy to do anything with their talents.

  19. umh persistence i've heard the word before but i never really understood it much, until now it pretty much means to not give up and to keep going:) i like how you put that every correct footstep leads us to are goal. i must agree with that!

  20. I don't understand what persistence is exactly after reading the definition/meaning i don't understand. But what i think this means is that everyone can make something of themselves even if they have unsuccessful talent because there is someone out there with the same problem he has. Being a genius also, some might have failed but doesn't mean you should give up. Everyone has the the chance to be educated with knowledge. Everyone has been Educated on other things, so its not possible that they can't learn more in school. You decide what to do with your life. Don't set your goals small set your goals big, even if you don't succeed you will have gotten further than normal.

  23. What does persistence mean to you? Does it mean to work hard and never give up? Yes it does my friend. Persistence in your life is very very helpful. You can achieve anything with it. When your on the road to success, you may want to give up, but if your determined and persistent you will make it. Once you make it, the journey is on cruise. You will enjoy this journey because all the hard work you put it in, well finally be paid off. Education is the most important thing in your life. It will help you make it to be someone in life. Don't give up on yourself. It will be payed off to you in time. Have patience. CHOOSE THE RIGHT --->>>>>>

  25. Persistence and determination are the thing that are going to lead you to your goals and do what you want to do in life. Talent and being genius are great things to have but you also need Persistence and determination to be successful in life. But in the end you need all of them. so if you have all this thing you will be successful. So choose the right and be Persistence and determination.

We all should persist until we succeed, to get what we want, and our journey, future will go good. We need persistence many times to do something we want to or need to. There are many qualities to be persistence whether it's honesty, character, and many other things.

  27. Staying focus on your goal constantly, will pay off at the end when you reach the goal you set for yourself. Only those who stay on track with what they need to do to get to their objective will be satisfied. If you start to fall the wrong path do anything that is possible to get back on the right path to success. Become a CTR champion. Always do what you know is the best for you.

  28. Everything in this world can be achieved through persistence. You have to have persistence and determination in yourself in order to achieve any life long dreams that you may have or that you think are to hard and that you cannot achieve. If you are patient and persistent than all of your dreams will fall into place and eventually come to you. You will achieve more than you ever dreamed possible.

  30. Persistence is the key to your success. If you want to achieve something, be persistent. Genius, Talent, and Education isn't enough, you need motivation and you need enthusiasm. If you are not motivated to do something you will not want to give it your all, if you have motivation if makes you wanna do it 10 times better. Motivation, enthusiasm, and persistence are very key factors in your path to success.

  32. This quote means that persistence is one of the keys to succeed in life because you need the determination to keep going in life. The what is needed slide shows me what to do to keep my persistence up. Persistence is the thing that motivates you and keeps you going. Determined persistence is what is needed for you to succeed in your education, your self confidence, in sports or talents, etc. keep your persistence up by CHOOSING THE RIGHT.

  34. Every time you choose the right, you will get closer to your goal. If you persist everything in life, it will be easier and you will enjoy the way things will turn out. When you are determined to strive for the best eventually you will reach your goal. If you have the talent good, but you need to use it to your best advantage. If you always show determination people will admire your work. Choose The Right!

  38. If you lead your own way to your own success you will become what ever you want to be nobody else can tell you what to do in your life the only person that can tell you what and what not to do is yourself because if you do anything wrong on your way to ypur goals the only to blame is your self so dont let anyone make you make you do stuff you dont want to do and always listen to only yourself because its your life and your goals and every footstep helps you get to your goals little by little it may take long but your goals are worth the wait and the extra mile.

  39. Focusing on the right path is a decision, but once you choose the right path it is your responsibility to stay on it. Make the best of your path and decisions. It will all be worth it in the end. Each step to your goal is like one chapter of a book. So keep proceeding with the chapter and stop until you have finished the book. :)

  42. Sometimes you do need to have persistence for everything. You cant give up. If you dont have presistence than you feel like giving up. That is not good. You must have persistence for all the good things in life.
