“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 education derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve problems of the human race.”

President Calvin Coolidge

                                               30^th president of US (1872-1933)

what this statement by Calvin Coolidge is trying to say is that you don’t successes unless you’ve failed or have something to motivate you. For example The famous Walt Disney got kicked out of the newspaper company because they said he wisest creative info and now is really famous guy and own companies. well never give up on you self always believe in yourself. get a good idea, and stay with it, and work with it until it's done, and done right.

Osteopathic Physician, D.O.

Osteopathic Physician, D.O.

(D.O. = doctor of)

Duties and responsibilities:             Osteopathic physicians use accepted methods of diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases.  Although they practice in all branches of medicine and surgery like pathological physicians (M.D.s), they differ by emphasizing the importance of the musculature system, holistic medicine, proper nutrition, and environmental factors in maintaining good health.  Osteopaths use a hands-on approach to medicine and frequently manipulate or palpate as part of diagnosis and treatment.  They work primarily in osteopathic hospitals or private practice, however many pathological hospitals now accept osteopathic physicians as staff members.  The majority of osteopaths are general practitioners, family practitioners, or emergency medicine specialists.

Salary: average salary: $110,000

Education: Students should take the most challenging high school courses (including AP or IB courses) available in science, math, and English.

After three or four years of college, prospective physicians must attend medical school.  Undergraduate requirements for admission to all medical schools include one year of basic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of biology, and one year of physics.  Some medical schools also require course work in calculus, English, the humanities, or social science.

Medical school usually includes two years of additional study in both basic and clinical sciences and is followed by a year-long hospital internship.  Physicians who want to specialize must then undertake a three-year residency in their specialty.
