This is how my mind works... I talk with a friend and remember half a sentence from somewhere (some general, maybe a president, said something powerful about perseverance.) Not being a child of this century, I can't look it up there and then on my iphone, even though I own an iphone. What I do, is come home later, google my hodgepodge of ideas and find the right quote. At least I know a quote to look for!
“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 will solve the problems of the human race”
- Calvin Coolidge
And you know something... he's right!
