Hard work always pays off - it is not a question of if you will get there, but WHEN you will get there

I think, therefore I am.

We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we only have one. 

Skills are built not born.

You're not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

The wise person knows that no answer is also an answer

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

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

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters how you end

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

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

If you fail, next time fail better.
