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

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

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

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

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. 

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

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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