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

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

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

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

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

Skills are built not born.

If you fail, next time fail better.

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

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

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

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

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.

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.
