Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

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

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

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because its stormy now doesn’t mean you are headed for failure.

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. 

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

The easiest person to deceive is yourself.

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