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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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. 

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

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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

Tomorrow is worth more than yesterday but less than today.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

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

You cannot start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.

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

Start, struggle, fail, fix and learn. Repeat.
