Skills are built not born.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

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. 

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

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

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

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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

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

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

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

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
