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

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

FAIL - First Attempt In Learning

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

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

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

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

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.
