Getting started and keeping going

Well, here I am launching into the world of blogging. Sort of makes you want to say something "significant"! But I can't do better than use the words of others. Bob Walsh, from whom I have been learning a lot lately, wrote yesterday about perseverence (among other things). Reminded me of the well-known quote from Calvin Coolidge:

Nothing in the 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 are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

I must admit I often enjoy rhetoric, and this is a good one no matter how often you hear it.
