The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

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. 

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

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

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

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

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

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

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

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

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

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