You can have results or excuses, not both

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

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

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

It is never too late to become what you might have been

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars/

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

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.
