I have a printout of a quotation by US President Calvin Coolige above my desk.
It reads . . . 

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; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. 
Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

William Alford
