There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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.

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

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

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

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

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

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.
