		<description><![CDATA[
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more commonplace than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. &#160;&#8211;Calvin Coolidge

&#160;
She needs a schedule. And fast. Little Miss wants to have late-night gab [...]]]></description>
