Tough times never last, but tough people do.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

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. 

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

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

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.

Work on your weaknesses until they are your strengths and work on your strengths until they are second nature.

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

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