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. 

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

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

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.

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

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

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

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

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

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

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