Our fixed mindset builds our cage, fear keeps us in it.

GCSE and A Level Maths are a marathon not a sprint

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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.

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

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

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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

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

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.
