Skills are built not born.

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

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

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

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

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt. 

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