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

Do Not Be Afraid To Make Mistakes. Each mistake teaches us something.

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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. 

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

Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

Success can never happen without the journey (struggle).

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

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.

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

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner
