Skills are built not born.

The road to success is like a staircase. If you want to succeed, double your failure rate

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

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

Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. The most powerful warriors are patience and time.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

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

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

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

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

We all make mistakes. What matters is how we choose to move forwards from them.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.
