Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

Skills are built not born.

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they worked on it every single day. 

If you fail, next time fail better.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

If you can understand just one thing thoroughly, then you will understand everything.

Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent
