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

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

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

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

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

Skills are built not born.

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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.
