January 10, 2019 - Press on

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.  Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.  Genius will not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.  Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.  The slogan 'press on' has solved and always solve the problems of the human race".

Calvin Coolidge was the 30th president of the United States (1923–29). Coolidge acceded to the presidency after the death in office of Warren G. Harding.

This is one of my favorite quotes.  Too often people give up just before they would have succeeded when just one more push would have resulted in success. You may fail, but if you quit, you have failed already. As long as you are striving forward, there is always the possibiliity of success.
