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

GCSE and A Level Maths are a marathon not a sprint

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

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

Tomorrow is worth more than yesterday but less than today.

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

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

Skills are built not born.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

Never let a dark chapter make you forget that better days are ahead of you. Your story is far from over.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Start, struggle, fail, fix and learn. Repeat.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do
