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. 

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

Your attitude is everything. Pick a good one.

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

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

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

Don’t hang your targets after you’re done shooting.

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

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

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

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.
