There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

Skills are built not born.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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

You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret to success and change in found in your daily routine.

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.

If you fail, next time fail better.

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.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Start, struggle, fail, fix and learn. Repeat.
