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

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

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

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

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

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

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

The power of reflection is the most powerful skill you’ll learn.

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