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

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

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

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

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

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

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

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift—that's why it's called 'the present

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.

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

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars/

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

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