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

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

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

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

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

Failure is NOT your destiny. Failure is the key to success.

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

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

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.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

MATHS = Mistakes Allow Thinking To Happen

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

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.
