Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

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. 

Dreams don't work unless you do.

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

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

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

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.

Run in the morning before your body figures out what you're doing

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

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

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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.
