    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

    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.

    Why do I think that Herbert Hoover followed this advice to his detriment?

    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!
