thought for the day

“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

thought for the day

“The great leaders throughout history are who they are consistently. It’s magnified during times of peril and crisis. So it comes down to what are your core values? What are your standards? What crisis does is let those core values and standards shine through. If you’re not living those from the heart, it’s very difficult to summon those right now.”

– Shane Battier
