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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

No matter how bad it gets, you’re still way ahead of those who haven’t even started.

Dreams don't work unless you do.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

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

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

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

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.
