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

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

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

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

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they worked on it every single day.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.
