There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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

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.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

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.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.
