Skills are built not born.

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

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

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. 

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

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

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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

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.

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

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

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

99% of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

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

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