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. 

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

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

99% of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

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

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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