Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

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

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.

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

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

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

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

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

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of the success.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.
