Not talent, not genius, not education matters! What matters is Determination

Nothing in the world
Can take the place of persistence
Talent will not;
Nothing is more common than
An unsuccessful man 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
