Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

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 easiest person to deceive is yourself.

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

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

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

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

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. 

We learn more from failure than we do from success.
