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.

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

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

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

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

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

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

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

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

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

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

I think, therefore I am.

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.
