Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

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

You can have results or excuses, not both

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

Good mathematics is not about how many answers you know... It is about how you behave when you don't know.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

You can hire a tutor but you can't hire someone to practice for you.

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

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.

Skills are built not born.

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.
