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

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

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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

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. 

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.

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Your attitude is everything. Pick a good one.

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

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

If you can understand just one thing thoroughly, then you will understand everything.

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