Hi folks, so I was listening to a speech made by Virginia congressman and he stated part of the quote below. The quote was what was originally said by the 30th president of the U.S, President Calvin Coolidge. Why does this quote sounds so deep to me, gets me all fired up and excited? Because even without haven't seen it before, that's what my motto in life basically is:
Work hard, be resilient and critical.
and yes, it has worked for me even when, at times, it seems like there's a road block, an unbreakable wall, a steep and topless mountain ... this motto always knocks it down and gets me going. Yes, not without struggles, sweat and the thought of uncertainties but my eye is always on the "price" - the end product.
So here's the quote:
"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 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 30th president of US (1872 - 1933)
Here's another quote which is inspiring to me:
"Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity."
Louis Pasteur who was a microbiologist, discovered first vaccine for rabies and best known by the general public for pasteurization.
