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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

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. 

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

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

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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.

Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of the success.

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.
