"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

Whenever you feel like giving up, like throwing in the towel, think of these words. However tough things are you just have to 'press on' even if it is just one step at a time. You can achieve success and reach your goals with persistence, determination and hard work. When things get really tough, take a break, count to ten, take deep breaths but whatever you do never ever give up!
