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.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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. 

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

The wise person knows that no answer is also an answer

You can have results or excuses, not both

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

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

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

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.

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

He who has begun his task is half-way done. Have the courage to begin!

If you can understand just one thing thoroughly, then you will understand everything.
