Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

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

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

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

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

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

Dreams don't work unless you do.

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

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

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.
