The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

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

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

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

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

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. 

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

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

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

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

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

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

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