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

Skills are built not born.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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

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

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

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

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

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