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

The power of reflection is the most powerful skill you’ll learn.

Do Not Be Afraid To Make Mistakes. Each mistake teaches us something.

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

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

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

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift—that's why it's called 'the present

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt. 

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

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

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.
