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

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

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

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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. 

Success is a journey, not a destination.

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

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

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