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. 

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

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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

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

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

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

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

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

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.
