Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Success is a journey, not a destination.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

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.

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

Skills are built not born.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.
