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. 

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

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

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

Everything you want is on the other side of fear

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

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

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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

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.

I can is 100 times more important than IQ.

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
