Skills are built not born.

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

Everything that happens was once a dream.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

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.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

You can have results or excuses, not both

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

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