Calvin Coolidge Persistence Quote: "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." ~ Calvin Coolidge Won't Be Denied! C.F. Jackson
Awesome Quote! Thanks! I love this quote - I first heard it back in 1989 when I went through Rita Davenport's "Laugh Your Way to Success" program. Rita was an amazing mentor for women in particular, but definitely for Southern women. She just resonates with an amazing power to communicate in a way that feels so good that you can't stop smiling!!!
I remember being told, when I started real estate, that I had the one thing that couldn't be bought...enthusiasm. I don't care who you are, what you sell, who you 'follow', how excellent your education is, how attractive you are, how good your product is, how deep your pockets are or how badly you desire the outcome, NOTHING can help you achieve your goals like enthusiasm and persistance. And even still, persistance is one thing, but enthusiasm is infectuous.
That's totally awesome, thinktom....and very true! I remember the photo you shared with us of you and your lovely wife....your enthusiasm for life comes through immediately! What an awesome example you set for your colleagues, your kids, and everyone you meet! :urock:

Why would it be to his detriment if he made a difference on this earth or strongly desired to bring his dream into fuition? Think about it! Anyone of great success and carved out their purpose, acheived it through Persistence and Determination! Won't Be Denied! C.F. Jackson Fired Up!
