Skills are built not born.

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

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

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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.

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

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

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

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

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

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

I think, therefore I am.
