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

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

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

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

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. 

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

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

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

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

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

"I" not them. Be the best version of you.
