Skills are built not born.

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Practice like you’ve never won. Perform like you’ve never lost.

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do

Patience is when you’re supposed to get mad, but you choose to understand
