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.

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

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

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

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

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.

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

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

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.
