Press on
June 27, 2008
“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 alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
Calvin Coolidge
30th president of US (1872 - 1933)
Perseverance- persist despite difficulties
During my internship at KAMC in Lubbock, Texas I remember visiting with Bill Maddox, the station’s star anchorman.
I asked him for just one piece of advice to be successful in TV News. He quickly answered, persevervance. Just stick with it, don’t give up.
Ten years into the business and it’s as hard as ever. It’s work, work, work and at times I want to quit, but I will endure. JMD
