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

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

You can have results or excuses, not both

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

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

Your limitation - its only your imagination.

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

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

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

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

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

Skills are built not born.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

The boxer is not afraid of being knocked down, he is afraid of not being able to get up again.
