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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

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.

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

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

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.
