There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

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

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

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

Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of the success.

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

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

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

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