The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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.

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

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

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

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.

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

Never let a dark chapter make you forget that better days are ahead of you. Your story is far from over.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

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.

You can have results or excuses, not both

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.
