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. 

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

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

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

I think, therefore I am.

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

GCSE and A Level Maths are a marathon not a sprint

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

No matter how bad it gets, you’re still way ahead of those who haven’t even started.
