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

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.

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Skills are built not born.

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

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

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

Everything that happens was once a dream.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

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

The wise person knows that no answer is also an answer

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there
