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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

MATHS = Mistakes Allow Thinking To Happen

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

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

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Skills are built not born.

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