Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

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

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. 

"I" not them. Be the best version of you.

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

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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

Skills are built not born.

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

Instead of finding reasons why you can't, find reasons why you can.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

You can pick up a mistake and carry it as a burden,  or you can set it down as use it as a stepping stone to greatness.

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

There is great wisdom in being able to realise that you don’t understand something before it goes too far.
