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.

Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

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

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

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

A book a day keeps the stupidity away.

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

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

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

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

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

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed
