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

Success is a journey, not a destination.

You can have results or excuses, not both

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

Success is not final and failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

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.

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.
