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. 

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

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