Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

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

Skills are built not born.

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. 

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

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

Dreams don't work unless you do.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

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

Never let a dark chapter make you forget that better days are ahead of you. Your story is far from over.

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

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.
