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

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

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

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. 

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

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

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

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

I had no time is no excuse. 1 hour is 4% of your day and 1 minute is 0.34 % of your day.

Do what you have always done and you will always be what you have always been

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt.
