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

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. 

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

The boxer is not afraid of being knocked down, he is afraid of not being able to get up again.

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

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.

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.

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

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

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

It always seems impossible until it's done.

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.
