Nothing in this 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.
世界上没有什么能代替坚持。才情不能，有才气的未成功者比比皆是。天赋不能，怀才不遇几乎成为了一句偈（jì）语。教育不能，世界上满是受过教育的失败者。唯有坚持和决心才真正无所不能。
