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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

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

Skills are built not born.

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

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

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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

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

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.
