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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift—that's why it's called 'the present

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

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

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. If today you have no time, it means tomorrow you'll be too tired and the next day you'll be something else.

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.
