Skills are built not born.

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

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

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

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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.

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they worked on it every single day. 

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Tomorrow is worth more than yesterday but less than today.

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

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