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

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

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

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

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

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

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

1.00³⁶⁵=1 and 1.01³⁶⁵=37.7. Doing nothing at all versus small steps at a time. 

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

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

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.

I think, therefore I am.

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

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.
