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. 

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Run in the morning before your body figures out what you're doing

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

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

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

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

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

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