Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

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

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars/

Tomorrow is worth more than yesterday but less than today.

The wise person knows that no answer is also an answer

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.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

You can be shown the path, but only you can make the first step.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

MATHS = Mistakes Allow Thinking To Happen

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.
