The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

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

Skills are built not born.

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

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

Never let a dark chapter make you forget that better days are ahead of you. Your story is far from over.

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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. 

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

The power of reflection is the most powerful skill you’ll learn.

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.
