We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

Skills are built not born.

Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.

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. 

Success is not final and failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
