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

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

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

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

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

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone
