Favorite Life Guides ( Press On)

Press On...
Nothing in the 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 alone will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent.

  2. Shryl,
    I enjoyed your poem and essay about "Peace with God," and to avoid aggressive people. This with an uplifting posting. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed weekend.
