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

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

It is never too late to become what you might have been

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. 

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

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

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

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

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

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

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

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

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