"nothing in the world can take the place of presistence. 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.

"physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body. it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."

Student success statement
“No student ever attains eminent success by simply doing what is required of him/her; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above that determines the greatest of ultimate distinction.”
Charles Kendall, American historian                                       
Reflection
Many students think that by just doing what is required they will become successful but truly it depends on what are the decisions that they make because in life you are always going to have to fallow your heart. For example, lets day that my sister is always doing what is required only but never goes that extra mile in life, she has a good chance of not becoming that successful because she never tried her best instead she just did what she had to.
