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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Run in the morning before your body figures out what you're doing

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

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

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