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

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

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

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. 

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

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

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt. 

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

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.
