There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

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

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

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

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

Skills are built not born.

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

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

Dreams don't work unless you do.

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

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

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there
