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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt. 

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.
