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

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

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

Skills are built not born.

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

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.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

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.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

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

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

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

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

Dreams don't work unless you do.
