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

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

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

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

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

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

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

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

The power of reflection is the most powerful skill you’ll learn.

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

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

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