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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Your attitude is everything. Pick a good one.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

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

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

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.

Skills are built not born.

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.

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

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.

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