Patience is when you’re supposed to get mad, but you choose to understand

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

You can have results or excuses, not both

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

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

It is never too late to become what you might have been

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

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

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

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. 

If you can understand just one thing thoroughly, then you will understand everything.

Skills are built not born.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.
